Thanks Chris. It is a tricky balance not being too noisy (I understand the sentiment of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12502468 ) but I tried to add to the conversation by by sharing our thoughts about the project <=> repo dilemma.

A willingness to engage with the community as often and as effectively as you guys have is surely not commonplace.

Hope you can keep it up! :)

I thought HN frowned on metacomments, and here it goes, talking about GitLab again, in a Github topic...

I'm in no way affiliated with gitlab, but I do like the product.

But the facts are such:

1) GitLab is a YCombinator incubated company.

2) GitLab and GitHub are direct competitors

3) It's almost always relevant to the discussion, in this case; "How could it be done differently, how /has/ it been done differently"

In this case I think it's fair to bring up the direct comparison of github and gitlab. The only thing I would say could improve the situation was having github representation on here too.

I enjoy threads like these; this is how healthy competition looks like. GitLab peoples' comments are relevant, and their discuss technical issues and merits of their solution, instead of comparing to GitHub ("we're better than the competitor!").

If this is how all marketing would always look like, I wouldn't hate it like I now do.
