I read the landing page, but I'm still not quite sure what the product is. Is it a GitLab competitor? That's what it seems to be seeing as it supports hosted git repositories, CI, code review, etc. I'm not sure what "Composable Unix-style mini-services" means.

#13I've been focusing on a lofty personal project for some problems I'm solving in my life, and hope to aid in solving for others. My project is primarily focused on self-hosting, but I would like to offer hosting for those who do not want to host.
Sourcehut is my inspiration for how to handle a FOSS + Hosted project. The financial reporting, UI design, approach to development, all of it is stellar.
I don't currently use Sourcehut but it is a huge inspiration to me on how I want to run my own non-profit aspirations. Thank you Drew. Really.

#16I'm amused that the example screenshot for lists.sr.ht is an email thread from qemu-devel, because we had to ask the person who'd been gatewaying that list to sr.ht to stop doing so: sr.ht bounces HTML email where qemu-devel does not, so people posting to qemu-devel were getting complaining emails from sr.ht and getting confused by them. A "no HTML" policy is fine if the list is hosted directly there, but it doesn't…

#17Sourcehut needs a graphical history view (akin to gitk or git log --graph; not sure what the mercurial equivalent is, definitely NOT ANYTHING LIKE that "network graph" github has) to be feature complete. I'd contribute but I have more free money than free time; is there some kind of bounty program?

#18I couldn't find a way to add company details however, which is a crucial detail when expensing this sort of thing. Turns out you can add these details when you download invoices, in a freeform textbox. So if anyone's thinking of signing up and billing their company, make sure to add relevant details in this box before downloading your invoice! It'd be nice if you could just save this with the account so that when this eventually renews I can just be emailed an invoice with the relevant details added. Another nice to have would be the ability to assign a separate billing e-mail address.
Anyway, looking forward to making good use of this!

Haha, yeah, sorry about that. I'd been working on first-class support for mirrored mailing lists, but this guy just set this up on his own. I found it because I was poking through the database for interesting patchsets to demo the UI with. Didn't realize until later that it was causing you guys headaches. Hope that all's well now.
