I'd use it and happily pay, are you planning to host a gitworkshop (or equivalent) instance too?
Discussion
We already have that here:
I was thinking it'd be cool, if nostr:npub15qydau2hjma6ngxkl2cyar74wzyjshvl65za5k5rl69264ar2exs5cyejr could just add a "spin-up a repo" button to his page, and end with producing a repo event, with the GitCitadel repo listed in the event, or something like that.
That is the step where most devs start out, and they all head to GitHub for it. That's where we lose users: right at the beginning.
Excellent point! We'll need to make the onboarding easy and fun, to retain users.
Dan's website is actually pretty good, that's why I forked it, but the first steps to using it are:
1) Go to GitHub.com
2) Open an account with your email
3) Setup your profile
4) Create a repo
And that's it. We just showed the new Nostrich Dev out the door. Wave goodbye. 😂
I think our mentioning that we'd expect users to pay, is what left everyone underwhelmed. GitHub is "free", but we're not a Fortune 500 company.
That's why nostr needs decentralization. Kinda should have been working on P2P infrastructure before building more stuff on the broken infrastructure we already have, making it harder for your creation to be compatible with a P2P network.
But git on nostr is really important so good job anyway I guess
