This sounds too good to be true. Who's funding this project?

Hi, I made sr.ht. The users are funding it! There's some information about this here:

I see for now there's only package repositories for Alpine and Arch (https://man.sr.ht/packages.md), any plans to expand this list any time soon?

(Fantastic job by the way, as other commenters are pointing out this is the type of project hosting suite that I've been looking for)

I do intend to expand this list, probably with at least Debian packages. This isn't a high priority at the moment, though, I have limited bandwidth for sr.ht until it's profitable and have to focus on other features. This is definitely an area where an interested Debian user could contribute packages, though, especially if nicely integrated with builds.sr.ht like the other packages are.

This has all the hallmarks of high-quality, well-designed software. I will definitely be checking it out. Thanks for all the work you've put into it!

Will we be able to selfhost it on our own infra?

I adore the aesthetic! Absolutely smooth web design; top notch work Drew.

Just registered and hope to familiarize myself with everything. This is one of the few "Show HN" projects I've felt compelled to actually try. Heck, I'm so charmed by it I want to contribute.

What a lovely Thursday morning discovery.

Ya, I believe so. > You’re welcome to install it on your own hardware, and detailed instructions are available for those who want to do so.

Agree. Simple and not over-engineered.
