    For forgejo I’m actually not too sure - “feel” is vague but the best I’ve got, maybe someone more UI inclined has clearer thoughts on it. Or maybe I just need to get used to it. It’s certainly much better than Gitlab imo.

      I could rant a lot about the GitHub UX, so here’s just the fairly obvious stuff on the repository page:

      Screenshot of the repository overview page. There's a lot of duplicated information.

      Red arrows mean duplicated information or duplicated navigational elements.
      Green arrow means why the fuck do I have to tell our customers to click a random link in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, in order to download our software?

        Unpopular opinion, but most of that is duplicated information that makes sense to be duplicated because I’m not a machine that can scan the whole page and instantly get what I need.

        Top right are action buttons, fork and stars on the center right let you see who else starred and forked the repo.

        License information just makes sense to be in a repo summary, and it just happens that most license files are at the root and visible in the file tree.

        I don’t see the top level stuff, you probably see that because you’re not authenticated, so github tries to “sell” itself for you.

        I agree “releases” should be at the top though (it used to, and I use GitHub refined to bring it back), but having the latest one at a glance is nice and saved me a click many times.

      Well of the major options out there that’s not github you’re looking at gitlab, forgejo/codeberg, or sourcehut. Sourcehut is the most minimalistic UI so you may love it or hate it. Otherwise i personally would value open source over UI which is why i use codeberg.
