Should you move from GitHub to sr.ht

Like the business model and the notable lack of candy-colored features. Looks like it basically gives you the tools to run an open source project the way the Linux kernel developers do?

It could run the Linux kernel model for sure, but it could also do several others. It's suitable for smaller projects as well.

I’m curious how extendable this is. It seems like at least some is written in C?

Is it viable to say, support hg repos or remote built workers not running under kvm, through adapters/plug-ins?

Hm, this is almost entirely written in Python. Support for those things may be possible in theory (the build tooling is mostly shell scripts and not tightly coupled with KVM).

Oh sorry my mistake. The link to the git subdomain from the post, goes to a project called “sway” - I misunderstood that to be the name of the tooling.

Well being python surely can’t hurt with HG integration (also python)

I’ll definitely look into this more now. I’d seen a reference to it from lobste.rs (maybe your profile, or a what-are-you-working-on?) and thought it looked interesting but never got a chance to dig deeper.

Edit: how could I forget, I saw it from a post about scdoc
