The problem is that Github does a lot.
However, I consider that there is still not a great UI for the core service, in special for a complex project.
In the other hand, I bet jujutsu has the best basic take, and is still missing a good forge.
But how much of that do people actually need? Most users don’t use most features. The core MVP is not that big.
The old saying goes: Everyone only uses 10% of what MS Excel can do. But everyone uses a different 10%.
The same goes for Github to a degree. Yes, there are hot paths that "everyone" uses, but also areas where most people never wander and other use daily.
It does a lot but at the end of the day, if the core functionality is just not good anymore, maybe put all the side projects on the actual side and focus on how to make sure core functionality suck less.
For example - We adopted GitHub Actions, then we swapped it out this year. Our own primary use case is code hosting + PRs. We want it to talk to the other (better) tools that intended for their use case. We want it in a secure yet fast and available manner. Nothing else. I don't care about projects, issues, or whatever super app they're trying to become.
Does it do anything that GitLab does not?
With what I heard about GitHub Actions, the GitLab CI pipelines should be much better.
Not that I haven’t shot myself in the foot with GitLab pipelines on numerous occasions.
Xit has a better “take” on Git. Pijul & Darcs still have better fundamentals.
worse is better
pujil's patch alebgra is sick but the whole system implementation is so complex my guy is still toiling away on it, unfinished, after half a decade
Unfortunately, naming things is hard, and JujitsuHub just doesn't roll off the tongue the same way that GitHub does. jjhub? forgesu?
Dojo is such an obvious thing, but its such an obvious thing that there are dozens of software trying to call themselves that.
Dojjo then?

You just don't have to think about it too hard:
jjplace/jjhub/codetown, whatever. Doesn't matter.
Names don't matter that much for brands. Names just have to be simple enough to remember (ideally two syllables or less). What the heck does Nike mean, for example? Boeing is just someone's name. Microsoft is just two words smashed together. A brand's name literally doesn't matter.
Case in point: Apple Computers.

Nike is the Greek goddess of victory.

you don't have to name your forge after the VCS it's based off of.

JujutsuJunction (Ju³), obviously.
JitHub.

GitHub, but it's pronounced with a soft G, like the peanut butter.
This is hilarious & the best name to use honestly
