I think this is true of github as a forge but it faces the threat of unbundling. Off the top of my head

- Code repository

- Project wiki

- Project roadmap/planning

- Static site hosting

- Issue tracking

- Internal and external contributions (PRs)

- Code review

- Cross platform CI pipelines/runners

- Release hosting

Of these key things, what is Github good at and how much can you improve by providing an alternative that's faster/cheaper/more robust?

Of these I think the only thing Github stays competitive at is "code repository." Everything else kinda sucks and/or is expensive and flaky.

Just as an example, there's that hilarious "just give me an EXE" Reddit post from a few years back. It's fun to laugh it given the state/purpose of Github but you can also look at that as a lost market for Github. Why can't you provide a nice landing page with downloads/installers in a very clean landing page for your project on GitHub? It could even be a premium feature if it means paying for storage/bandwidth.

And don't get me started on actions. Absolute trash tier product that they should be ashamed at the state of.
