I tried a few different repositories (both my own and various other people’s projects). They all yield the same:

    No repositories found

    No repositories matching "https://git.sr.ht/~whynothugo/ImapGoose" were found.

Probably broken/down right now?

deepwiki doesn't spider. Repos are indexed upon request. The request dialog accepts a non-github URL.

Now I'm wondering who requested my repo lmao.

Maybe they only support github?

Yeah, I wanted to try it on my (GitLab) repo as well, but it also said "No repositories found". Clicking "Index any public repo" pops up a dialog that says "Search for a GitHub repository" and "or Enter the URL of a public GitHub repository".

So looks like it's not actually any repository.

Yeah, the site is pretty ambiguous. It says “any repository”, but they require a GitHub URL.

That explains why none of the projects which I tried worked.

I wonder why they’d use a descentralised protocol but then only support a single host.

I've looked at mine and it take 10 to 15 minutes to process.
