We host Alexandria and our other projects on a private git server using OneDev.

Would other #nostrdevs be interested if we began providing a public git server as a (probably paid) service for others to host their projects?

Our goal is to break dependency on GitHub, and this would be a step in that direction.

I support the idea, because Github is Microsoft, so yep (I am not a dev)

The best case, of course, is to make it easier for people to self-host code in some capacity, but many will want managed services. It's important to provide some competition to the big, established players.

Well, it would also affect people who report bugs.

If you report it on some individual-dev's gitserver, it'll usually get ignored, as he is just going to look at GitHub. Also can't log in anywhere, with your Nostr signer.

Or it's just extra work for bug reporters (which can be a good thing) compared to nostr issues. It's public and easy to submit, and not sequestered on the individual dev's server. Bug reporters don't need to make a bunch of email/password accounts to other dev's servers.
