I signed up and the code email went to spam. A quick look at the DNS seemed to show you were lacking DKIM and DMARC records. If I'm not mistaken about that, you should remedy that to ensure email providers don't dump your emails to spam.

Thanks for flagging, we were missing DMARC, now added

I like the terminal aesthetics but please, for accessibility's sake, make input boxes look more like input boxes and buttons look like buttons.

thank you for the feedback, yeah i've been going and trimming a few places where i think my own tendencies have gone a bit too far. i will also say on accessibility, i recognize the site is a bit too small font in general — and will fix it soon.

I would humbly suggest that a reasonable site should assume that the user has set the comfortable font size in the browser, and make all other font sizes in percentages, or using rem units.

fair critique. i'll refrain from it in the future. but i will say that the point of our post isn't to really sell anyone here or on anything. we kinda know that our product as-is isn't ready to use at real scale (we lack issues, prs, ci, gotta fix a lot of bugs, etc.) we did just want to sincerely share what we built. and rust is a part of that, we chose it cause we wanted to learn it and we then quickly found out th…

While we're critiquing, the demographics that I'm part of has trouble taking someone seriously who is too lazy or sloppy to use the Shift key and complete punctutation.

I hate that too, of course, but as long as it doesn't creep into the actual product or website itself, it doesn't really matter.

At least they aren't using five digit years...

Big Brother seems to be built in to us humans.

git itself is decentralised - all repos are equal. Mr T designed it that way because ... well that's all that was needed for Linux kernel development back in the day and it still seems to work. The management stuff can be managed quite well via email and some choice socials. Obviously that nonsense cannot possibly scale to the size of your enterprise thingies!

Yet again we have a better Big Brother than Big Brother ... this time with Rust, yum!
