# My takes on development platforms Authors: Nova[有線魔女] Date: 2021 06 17 #GitHub Given that I already had a hatred against Microsoft and their things it was kinda obvious that sooner or later I'd end up moving my repositories to elsewhere , just didn't know to where by then. Basically the UI is so bad that I just couldn't be bothered to even use it myself. Things were only going to get worse. Finally deleted my account around January 2021 after I moved most of my repositories to Codeberg and other development platforms. #GitLab The entire interface of GitLab is just unusable without JavaScript enabled and a "modern" browser , way worse than GitHub despite this one being open source. Basically used to use it too for some (now dead) repositories , and god damn it it's really bad. Although I've made another account on there just for AuroraOSS I may end up purging the account sometime , on a side note , I have also accounts at Framagit (Framasoft's GitLab) and TeDomum Forge (obvious isn't it) , and I'll purge them too, for exactly the same reasons. #BitBucket Automatically sucks because it just doesn't work without JavaScript , and adding an SSH key is unnecessarily difficult to do. #SourceForge Most (if not all) of its assets (like CSS or JavaScript) are hosted on cloudflared hosts, and for mailing lists in particular, it requires Gogle ReCAPTCHA for verification, what a joke. Also, the page looks entirely broken on non-chromium / non-firefox web browsers, like Lynx, or ven WebKit-based browsers (I think), and therefore unusable. Deleting an account there is also somewhat difficult, but at least they allow the user to do it by filing up a ticket on their tracker.
