I wouldn't want to host software, or really any published work, in a legal regime that doesn't have something equivalent to the American first amendment.

And many people wouldn’t want to host in America because the first amendment doesn’t really protect you from the whims of the US government, which at the moment are pretty fucking random, and the US government gives itself rights to access any/everything hosted by US companies.

I just moved from github to vodeberg then to my own self hosted forgejo on hetzner. I may wait awhile and then try yours.

You shouldn't allow repos without descriptions. Do people really cannot be bothered to write one sentence that describes the repo?

Its specifically based in France. This matters as EU law is less uniform than US law (yes, like differences between states, but a lot more so).
replyThe UI is a lot snappier than Github.
The promise not to train models on the code is not very useful for public repos, and I cannot see anything about private repos.

I think this maybe needs some more time, to figure out what the actual plan with this is - if any.

great idea, sadly full of vibe-code. I assume it was prompted by copying the style of some existing EU-style Design system.
replyIdea is promising though, hope it matures into something solid.

I would want to know the pricing before I’d move anything there.
replyIt should cost money - I just want to know how much.

Nice idea, zero trust signals. Don't even see company details or the folks behind and no legal pages.

replyThere's a possibility this was made by a person. Apart from that good luck getting any information behind this.

So you are switching focus from blockchain-something to EU-something?
replyHm.

I was never really blockchain-something. It was all the hype when I finished my software engineering masters (around 2017/18), so to understand the technology better I started a Podcast and wrote my master thesis about it. I never used it or worked in it afterwards though and I never thought it'd become more than a scam unfortunately

*The product is stable, but still in development. That's why some of the core things like pricing, etc. are missing. BUT:*
1. Business Model: Pushin will have subscriptions for individuals and teams. Pricing is not yet decided but it'll be close to GitHub/GitLab pricing.
2. Privacy: In true German fashion, we *don't* want your private data. Pushin doesn't track anything beyond the obvious: email, password hash, username, whatever information you put on your profile.
3. Roadmap: We're currently in Beta, but everything looks good so far. We'll probably go GA beginning of 2027. I'll focus on delivering the core features first and make sure that they are polished and of good quality before moving on to the nice-to-haves.
4. I say "we" but it's really only me (Peter Ullrich, peterullrich.com) and my dog (Bella, Labrador, beige). "We" are not VC funded, but bootstrapping on bare metal Scaleway servers. My wish is for this to become a proper company soon though.
5. Tech-stack: Elixir (Phoenix + LiveView) for most parts, Rust for the Git parts, S3-compatible buckets and Postgres on Scaleway, servers are bare metal Scaleway servers running in Paris.
6. Git implementation: Just like Tangled, I've used Rust and the gitoxide libraries to build a Git implementation that's fully compatible with the canonical Git CLI, but uses S3-compatible buckets as storage instead of keeping the entire repo on disk. I'll write in-depth about this soon, but it's very much what Tangled did, just with a different storage concept.
I gotta be honest that I'm both scared but also excited that Pushin hit HN. I wish we'd be better prepared, but here we are. Many thanks to anyone who is willing to try it out!
This seems poorly worded or genuinely concerning. Why do you want to track my email, username or anything in my profile. What do you do with it? How do you track it?
