Clicking the text "100% open source software" brings you to the following list of git repos which collectively contain the source code for sourcehut:

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/?search=sr.ht

Can you make "sr.ht git services" the blue title of the repo "card" and "~sircmpwn/git.sr.ht" - the subtitle (with dimmed color)? This simple change will improve UI usability in 10x times.

I sort of agree about the confusion.

I think the proper UI fix would be to split the username (sircmpwn) from the repo name (git.sr.ht) and make them two separate links divided by a non-link " / ".

This is what github does and I feel like it's a standard people expect, similar to having the logo of a page on the top left.

Well, the former is the description and the latter is the name.

The former is a human-readable text which allow eye to easy understand and latter is a technical info which is not required to have space on the screen and makes UI "hard to use".

I wouldn't consider the repository name any more technical in nature than the name of a CD or film. I think it makes sense to have the title be more prominent than the description of what it does.
