I’m sure many thought the same about the United States of America when it was founded.

I guess the difference is the founding of the EU didn’t require multiple genocidal slaughters.

Oh, wait.

Hi, Peter the Founder of Pushin.eu here. Sorry, the website escaped containment and landed on HN before I had the chance to update the "marketing materials" aka. landing page. So, here are a few points: *The product is stable, but still in development. That's why some of the core things like pricing, etc. are missing. BUT:* 1. Business Model: Pushin will have subscriptions for individuals and teams. Pricing is not ye…

Your website seems to conflate "Europe" with the EU. Can you clarify, here and on the website, whether the data remains: * in _EU member state_ sovereign territory * in _European states'_ sovereign territory * on the contentinent of Europe or some combination of the above? I am specifically wondering about: * Out-of-Europe territories of European states. * UK, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, Serbia etc.

From the website:

"Your repos never leave the EU"

That's clear enough I think.

https://codeberg.org/ also fits the description of "Git hosting that never leaves Europe".

Regardless of that, these don't seen to play for the same audience. Codeberg Terms of Use[^0] makes it clear that it's only for "projects covered by a licence for free and open source software, free and open source hardware, or free cultural works", and "You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools". They also only provide private repos where the FOSS system need it for the…

pushin's home page does mention that they 'block slop'. I wonder who decides what slop is, and how?

Yes, sorry this escaped containment before I was able to update the landing page. Since the product is in invite-only beta still, I focused on the UX of the platform instead of the "marketing materials" aka. Landing page

Trust is not "marketing materials". Folks trust that you keep those promises, that their code ist safe. Your product is trust, not the application. Code and application are just the vehicle to deliver that.

They mean AI spam PRs.

Will it have continuous integration or is it focused on just version control and issue tracking?

It does already, but it's not yet properly documented. You can already run your own Gitea runner and point it at Pushin. I'll also add managed CI runner support based on Firecracker VMs soon. Currently, I use self-hosted runners for my CI, but the UI is a bit rough. I wanted to merge a PR today that fixes all that but then HN happened so just bear with me a little longer :)

No worries. You can also instead provide integration of third party CI. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi, awesome to see more forges!

A few questions if you don't mind:

1) Do you plan to open source the platform? If not, what's your reasoning?

2) You say that platform stability is one of your core goals. How does that look in practice? From what I gather you rely on Scaleway a lot.

3) What makes your platform stand out from e.g. codeberg.org?

Thank you in advance :)

Europe is the name of a continent. What reason(s) would there be to change the name of a continent?

In contrast, the EU is a trading block, set up to foster greater pan-European trading relations. It's not the only pan-European institution. For example, the Council of Europe ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Europe ) is a separate pan-European institution, set up in 1946 which was before the EU or any of the predecessors of the EU, and amongst other projects was behind the formation of the European Court of Human Rights. I bring this up to highlight that we do not need the EU in order to have collaboration between European countries.

I think you maybe missed my footnotes. Even if you did/did not, vernacular evolves. So at the time that you fervently hope the EU comes to its (clearly deserved, Mr Putin) end, I imagine people will be able to adapt their wrong speak and clearly incorrect thinking to ensure they adhere to the newspeak.

> at the time that you fervently hope the EU comes to its (clearly deserved, Mr Putin) end

I find it funny you think the only reason people would want the end of the EU is if they're a Russian agent. The EU has very little to do with defence. Perhaps your argument would hold more weight if talking about NATO, but even then it's not necessary for countries to be members of NATO in order to collaborate on protection when their collective security interests align.
