Good choice. It's memorable.

I signed up as a paid user when it was last on hacker news. Got an email invoice. Then for the life of me could not remember what the service was called. Finally gave up trying to use it.

Your form for registering is not using TLS:

  action="http://meta.sr.ht.local/register"

Looks OK if you use the form at https://meta.sr.ht/register

I love the minimalist info-dense UI. Thank you for avoiding modern UI trends.

Cool to see another big flask project. I'd love to see a lighter and snappier alternative to gitlab.

As of posting, the info on this site is very lean, but going forward sourcehut seems to be the name for the software suite of the service 'sr.ht'. The linkage is implied by the quote on the site that "sr.ht is a hosted instance of sourcehut provided for your convenience".

The impetus behind the branding clarification seems to be this HN thread [1]. For more history, see the the debut announcement [2] and its corresponding HN thread [3].

I was personally hoping for "Sir Hat", with a Shovel Knight-style mascot.
