This is the type of project announcement that gets me excited to work on my own open-source efforts. Congrats Drew, this is great.

#52Just 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
Following link listed on the man page https://man.sr.ht
also gives a 404, but in a little better format. :)

#54I love this. Everything I've read so far breathes this "made for devs" attitude. I hope that a few years from now in a HN thread that lists successful companies that got "launched" on HN (you know, the Dropboxes and so on), this will be among them---and that the product is still as honest and awesome as it looks right now!

#55How does this compare to Trac, which is also a 100% free, open source "software forge" (also built on Python)?
Without having used sr.ht yet I'd say that it's most likely less of a pain to use than Trac. Also Tract doesn't have any build capabilities iirc?

That's a git clone URL, not a web-facing URL :)
I have not tried to clone it myself. But if it is not a web-facing URL, you should list it in clear CLI command and remove the tag. People will click if you make it clickable.

What's the pricing structure going to be, ie. how much should I expect to pay for hosting a dozen of small git repos? I can't access the billing page without an account. Thanks for your work for the FLOSS community, btw. I've got one machine running Sway and I might start using sr.ht.
You can choose any of $2/mo, $5/mo, or $10/mo, depending on your financial situation and investment in sr.ht. All plans have access to all features. Here's a screenshot of the billing page: https://sr.ht/rYFF.png I'll capture the information here in the billing FAQ and make it easier to get to the billing FAQ without signing up later tonight. Thanks for using sway :)
Thanks for providing this and thanks for allowing us to pay for an account. I hope that sr.ht becomes sustainable, it's great to have an alternative that is focused on open source developers.

#58> On top of that, sr.ht is one of the most lightweight websites on the internet, with the average page weighing less than 10 KiB, with no tracking and no JavaScript At the age of Spectre/Meltdown, it is no longer safe to leave JavaScript enabled, so thank you for this.
got a source on that?

Then, keep in mind that new Spectre style vulnerabilities have been announced for CPUs, and the feasibility of using GPUs in this style of attacks is being explored now.

There are a bunch of CI plugins and bots for Trac, and part of the point of sr.ht is that it's modular, too.

#60Hi 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.
Wow. Excellent. What serves drewdevault.com -- sr.ht itself?
