Hey Peter, that's a very cool idea. I think (digital) sovereignty doesn't just happen, it's something we need to build and that's how we do it. It's a bit like "local first". Looking forward to using it once it launches :)

Thank you and I absolutely agree! Pushin is merely one building block. We need a European-centric push in many products.

Well as soon as your pricing is available and full onboarding is done, I will be pushing for it at work. We just left bitbucket and I have everything stored locally until we find an alternative and I just found it.

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…

(sorry I got excited and shared it)

I am happy you did as I was looking for a European alternative

Oh wow! I'll start pushin (pun intended) to get this ready in time for you to switch then :)

Love to hear more about the Git implementation. In using S3, are you going the walgit route or more like git-remote-s3?

It's closer to walgit as it stores the packs in S3, but it uses Postgres for locking a repo during a push instead of using the Cursor/Walgit trick of using a WAL+CAS in S3. I've evaluated CAS on the Scaleway S3 service, but writing the WAL adds 240ms to every push, a cost we don't have with Postgres where it's a fast row lock. I also evaluated whether keeping a WAL would be useful, but ultimately decided against it because we can track everything the WAL tracks through the git history + audit logs without the write cost overhead.

Eh, English is the closest thing to a Lingua Franca in Europe, if you want to get as broad as possible. Especially for a git service, something what would will be eminently used by software developers, who mostly can speak English anyway.

Wenn du willst kann ich auch alles auf Deutsch schreiben aber dann versteht's keiner

Na ja, "keiner" ist vielleicht etwas kurz gegriffen bei der nach Englisch am häufigst gesprochenen Sprache.

You seem to cite tangled a lot, and logically, I am wondering if you have any plan to also federalize on top of the AT protocol, so accounts could interact across the site boundary and also allow self hosting but still benefiting from pushin network? It may be hard in terms of design so I understand if you say you won't.

A few observations:

- Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB, Lithuania. Hostinger-branded authoritative DNS servers run on Cloudflare’s network. This creates a dependency on a US company.

- IPv6 is not supported by the public website/Git endpoint.

- DNSSEC would be a great addition for security, especially due to the use of US-based Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt.

Is there any type of email list I can subscribe to, to be informed of news/updates while (and even after) the site is in invite-only beta?
