Agreed :( I wanted to semi-plug my latest weekend project (I'll do it here instead! https://gitlab.com/stavros/caduceus), and I couldn't. Github is not the only place code lives, and I don't think it'd be that hard to add a few more, although I guess the author takes icons/descriptions/etc from the GH API so they'd need one integration per site.

I saw a spike but far from an exodus https://monitor.gitlab.net/d/000000153/github-importer?orgId...

And you've got to remember that imported projects are just that. I imported one of my projects, took it for a spin, and as a result of that am still happily using github.

I should have put exodus between quotes indeed. I haven't followed the numbers lately but I figured the voice would have been louder than the action. Let alone the people who already moved back to GitHub.

But I have always felt I could never discover projects outside of GitHub. Partly because adding GitHub as keyword to your search often gives the best results.

On a project I work on I even push the repository from Gitlab to GitHub just for the exposure.

So a good alternative to GitHub being the de facto open source project discovery site would be nice. That said I don't hate GitHub and I'm happy I can find almost everything I need there.

Yep, it's an MVP at this point so we'll definitely consider adding GitLab. Thanks for the feedback.
