Wow.
I've only glimpsed at some parts, but I'm really liking what I'm seeing! I also love the look and feel.
I look forward to doing deep dive the next few days and looking to contribute anyway I can.

#42Just signed up. I like the old fashioned user URL, reminds me the age of public_html https://lists.sr.ht/~ontouchstart BTW, please add a nice 404 so people won't see that you're running nginx/1.14.0 :-) https://sr.ht/~ontouchstart
Thanks for the feedback! https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht/113

#43Very impressive! The https://builds.sr.ht service looks especially interesting - any chance there's a way to use it without fully moving over to sr.ht? It would be nice to be able to try out the build system without having to fully commit to moving to to sr.ht, especially for projects with a large history on other platforms.
I went ahead and registered and signed up for a plan. If this is the kind of project you like to see, I encourage you to consider signing up to contribute.
Feature request: I'd love to see U2F support added.

#44Congrats on the milestone. This is a huge boon to the open source community. I love the pricing model. Are there any plans or ideas for a migration path from GitHub to sir.ht? I would imagine that if there was a way to transfer issues and discussions it would encourage more users to make the switch. Here's one data point for you: zig programming language. Influencing factors: * If we had syntax highlighting in the fi…
>* If we had syntax highlighting in the file browser, that would be a win over GitHub, which insists that there be "hundreds of GitHub repositories" before accepting a syntax highlighting pull request for a new language. I could imagine it would be reasonable to support "repository-local" highlighting configuration. We use pygments, so patches to pygments would make it to sr.ht's syntax highlighting. >* Transferring…

I really appreciate this response! That encourages improvements that benefit everyone, not just sr.ht users.

#45Hi Drew -- awesome job! I want to migrate my projects there. Do you plan on supporting static sites a la GitHub pages?

Yeah, you can use https://man.sr.ht/dispatch.sr.ht/ to push github commits to builds.sr.ht, or write some automation to push builds using the API.

Thanks for signing up!
>any chance there's a way to use it without fully moving over to sr.ht?
Yep. I currently use builds.sr.ht in combination with GitHub, for example, to build sway & wlroots:
https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/1377
You can wire this up at https://dispatch.sr.ht
The API is also pretty simple: https://man.sr.ht/builds.sr.ht/api.md
postmarketOS uses the API, for example, in combination with some custom tooling around their package manager.

This has been discussed before, I would accept a patch but can't work on it myself until my browser (qutebrowser) grows U2F support.

#48I 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.
It's ok but it should really be centred at least.

#49Don't have an immediate use, but I signed up for the $20/yr account. Seems like an incredible platform, and if I have this expectation that better software be built and not tied to huge corporations beholden to investors, the only way to do that is to support it. Looking forward to digging into all this.

#50Hi Drew -- awesome job! I want to migrate my projects there. Do you plan on supporting static sites a la GitHub pages?
Yep! This is planned and partially working through builds.sr.ht. I deploy my blog, drewdevault.com, through builds.sr.ht: https://builds.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/drewdevault.com This is built with Jekyll and used to be on GitHub pages. The plan is to have a place where you can dump static content, then you can use any site generator you want with builds.sr.ht.
