#272A better Github, without 99% of the features that Github has.
I mean, to be fair, a lot of the reason I use Gitea is that I don't want the other 99%.

What? This doesn't make sense, how is it Rust's fault if people are being lazy and tribal?
It's not the fault of the language itself. But the behaviour gives people bad vibes, and they don't want to associate with the community anymore. Keep in mind. Learning a language usually also means you interact with the people in the ecosystem at some point.
Rust is definitely a hotbed for the kind of smells/red flags I used to associate with C++ Template Demons. "I typed every line myself" ok and?

#274So like: not to hijack thread -- but is there any way to post about what you've built on HN without making people angry if its vibe coded? What's the etiquette there because I have a thingy I am going to post soon (open source, non commerical) and don't really want to be ripped apart by HN. I am a software engineer but doubt that matters if it's all vibe coded.
Be honest and transparent about who you are what you have and what you did. If it took you a year of solid development, it'll probably look like it did. If it took you 15 minutes in Claude... well it probably looks like it did too.
If you are YC backed then say "YC Winter 2026" or whatever in your title frankly - people will work it out anyway.
They said it was a better GitHub, which is a very high bar (despite the regular complaints about GitHub). They also said it was anti-AI, despite it being vibe-coded.
Also, know your competitive space. Posting on HN is like pitching - not knowing about your competitors is not really going to work - you need an answer for, for example, why someone picks Gitdot over SourceHut.

There is no lie or misleading information about rust in the title so it’s clearly not clickbait.
> There is no lie or misleading information about rust in the title so it’s clearly not clickbait. That’s not what clickbait means at all.
That’s exactly what clickbait means:
Clickbait (also known as link bait or linkbait) is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow ("click") that link and view, read, stream or listen to the linked piece of online content, being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading.

#277no one cares what language the program is written in

#278Please, stop using "written in Rust" as some kind of advantage or killer feature.

#280I see a lot of people trying to capitalize on GitHub's recent failings, and I feel like everyone trying to shoot their shot in this space is missing one key aspect: Git is a terrible TERRIBLE piece of software.
I have spent a considerable amount of time learning git, not because I wanted to, but because someone else in my team didn't and inevitably t-boned our repository with a proverbial freight train running commands they didn't understand. It is absolutely unacceptable for a program designed EXACTLY for the purpose of maintaining a history and backup of the evolution of a program to be so unwieldy and occasionally dangerous to use. We can absolutely do better than Git.
