IMO, the Gogs dev was correct. If you look at that community input and what Gitea became, I was glad to use the version that rejected it.
But I don't know how it compares with Forgejo.
It’s Gitea with some security fixes and community input, as open source software should be.
what's the problem with gitea? I never used gogs so I can't compare it
The added features made it harder to deploy, came with some bugs, and overall traded a simple design for community-oriented features that IMO were a negative value overall.
made it harder to deploy? Isn't it still just a single binary, a config file and a directory for data?
bugs are inevitable for evolving software.
which community oriented features do you mean? are they in the way, or is it just that you don't need them?
