But I’m not a coder, don’t own any repos, only thing I do on GH is read and post issues and comments and occasionally search through source code looking for things that are easy to find.\n\nAs for Gitlab, I hate them because they will not display one single pixel to you unless you enable javascript. (See screenshot, that was trying only to view the F-droid page.) I disable JS entirely by default, only enable on sites I need to view which won’t work without it. (EDIT: I spelled f-droid “f-droid” which is why I got the 100% blank page. When I re-spelled it “fdroid” I got an ALMOST blank page with an F-droid icon and could not do anything else.)\n\nNice thing about Github is that if I just want to quickly check the homepage, issue or release page for a repo, I can do all of that without JS.\n\nBad thing about Github: Microsoft and minor UI annoyances.",
