They violently break all the recent frontend best practices. Where is the React or Vie, SPA architecture, tons of JS? There should be a federal law prohibiting making fast and simple UIs so that nobody will have concerns that the UI frameworks war leads us to great future.
I'm sorry, sarcasm is not the best way to communicate an important point here at Hacker News. I appreciate the attempt at humor, but, it's not funny.

It's written in Python so as soon as they have enough users it will be as slow as any webpage with tons of JS. Thankfully, that CPU load won't be on the client side... so it's still an improvement
Server-side bottlenecks are more often than not database reads/writes and other IO. And the few CPU-intensive operations can be delegated to libraries written in C.
Pure Python is slow for CPU-intensive tasks, but that doesn't mean that a Python webserver is necessarily slow.

There’s not even any analytics or trackers. The shame!

For one thing it offers a far cleaner user experience than Git does.

Now, I last used git extensively in 2011, and I have heard things have gotten better on the UX front. But now I am used to HG and don't have many reasons to switch. I gladly pay 20 bucks a year for having a place for mercurial repos.

#88Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well, the former is the description and the latter is the name.
The former is a human-readable text which allow eye to easy understand and latter is a technical info which is not required to have space on the screen and makes UI "hard to use".
