There are a lot of bad things to say about #GitHub :github: at the moment, but as a tool I find it so much more ergonomic than #GitLab :gitlab: that I honestly can't see myself moving my authored apps to GNOME's GitLab instance anytime soon. I'm watching #Codeberg :codeberg: and its #Forgejo :forgejo: project with great interest, but at the same time I'd like to have a presence where most of my apps' technicallly inclined audience actually is, you know? 🥲

@bragefuglseth I have the exact opposite take on this. To me github feels clunky and slow and fucks up basic things like the page content bugging out every time I try to navigate back. Or how hard it is trying to do basic git things like diffing 2 refs (which afaik you can't just navigate to). On gitlab that is in the sidebar, pretty easy to find even if I don't remember exactly where it is.

@ada_magicat Admittedly I'm not much of a power user and just use GitHub for the "basic stuff" (hosting code, managing issues, receiving pull requests, and doing releases), but I perceive GitHub as a lot snappier! People are different in funny ways sometimes 😄

@ada_magicat One concrete thing I'll mention is that GitLab's new DIY approach to the project sidebar isn't my favorite thing in the world. When I initially wanted to find the issue tracker of a project, I had to search for a while before locating it in the "Plan" section of the sidebar. GitHub and Codeberg have actually made decisions about what to put front-and-center. On GitLab I can pin the Issues item to the top manually, but that's just working around an underlying problem after the fact.

@bragefuglseth@fosstodon.org @ada_magicat@tech.lgbt fun fact: gitlab previously did have issues at the top. They moved them into a submenu later for a reason I can't fathom

@alice @ada_magicat Yeah, I remember that. Someone at GitLab needs to read https://ometer.com/preferences.html …
