Am I the only one who can't find the source of this "open source software"? How they can beat Bitbucket while they hide the code under unusable UI?

> Where is the source?

The homepage links to https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/?search=sr.ht (EDIT: which is now also the URL in the blogpost with the link text "100% open source software")

There are also Hg repos at hg.sr.ht; idk how easy it is to find git.sr.ht from hg.sr.ht.

Well, for Hg users, it's not like there's going to be much of a choice in a year (given BB is sunsetting Hg support), right?

Mercurial users can use their builtin Web UI unlike Git users

Clicking the text "100% open source software" brings you to the following list of git repos which collectively contain the source code for sourcehut:

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/?search=sr.ht

Can you make "sr.ht git services" the blue title of the repo "card" and "~sircmpwn/git.sr.ht" - the subtitle (with dimmed color)? This simple change will improve UI usability in 10x times.

Think Craigslist - totally clunky UI that totally dominates its market

Bitbucket may have better styles, but its load times are atrocious.

Everything from Atlassian is slow. Tried Confluence lately?
