Show HN: Gitdot – a better GitHub. Open-source, anti-AI, and written in Rust

This is really interesting. Especially as its open source and I really liked the UI design of it.

I was thinking about creating my own git forge given the unreliability of Github and I wouldn't be able to create just at the moment incredibly reliable software like git forge although I could use AI to create a minimalist piece of software, I didn't because I didn't want to create yet another AI slop fighting another AI slop (github/gitlab).

Forejo is incredible but I have always wanted to get more alternatives in this field.

Much thanks for making it. I have signed up and I have high hopes for it too and I will try to either self host this on my servers or gitdot.io as well as Github

I recommend making a small community in matrix (preferred), fluxer.gg, discord etc. as I'd like to join it.

PS: small personal thing that I have made which helps in making communities: https://mirror.forum

I am definitely interested in gitdot.io! This seems incredible

I wish nothing but the best for you folks. Gonna create a local copy of the source code of gitdot.io right now!

Thanks for open-sourcing the efforts too. I really appreciate it :-D The software is so nice!

I genuinely hope that you guys and the project blows up and if you guys might ever hire a junior dev, I hope you all could remember me as the world right now needed such software that you have made!! :-D (Although I am more interested in managing servers/golang but that's because rust is hard to learn as a beginner but that's different topic but I like rust's ideas too and rust is a great/preferred language with golang for this type of service :-D)
