I mean, it works for me?
The site is clearly not ready and maybe they didn't expect people to find it, but that doesn't mean the site is bad.
It is just a work in progress.
I'm not even interested in the site anyway the software and the source interests me more.

Doesn't invalidate my experience.

What do you mean? It's linked on the Github repo.

I think a site that doesn't work properly is a bad one. That's just my opinion.

I mean isn't this the point of open source?
You can fork the repo and fix the problem instead of complaining?
You can still give constructive criticism of an open source project though, right?

So, volunteer time for free for someone else?

Only if you just found what open source is.
In actuality, successful open source projects recruit developers by providing value to them. If there's a failure before you even install the product, there's 0 reason for someone to start contributing right away, why not start their own project at that point? Contributing 1 to something that has 0 value is a donation in exchange for nothing, not how Open Source usually works.
