Awesome! That's EXACTLY what I'm going for. I kept using github and having this feeling of "this doesn't feel like it was built for me."

Current git hosts don't feel like they were made for programmers which is nuts! Even for the most essential and basic actions (all of what gitern provides at the moment), they feel kludgy. My intent is to carry a programmer-first approach for all needs programmers have around git hosts. I have SO many ideas on how to do this.

If you couldn't tell, I'm very happy to hear you had a positive impression lol. Thank you!

Yes, it is encouraging to see that people are still interested in creating brutalist interfaces.

I'm not sure how it would fit a professional workflow, since that would require your server to call a web hook whenever somebody merges to a given branch, but it would do fine in an amateur workflow where I set up my own CI/CD using local hooks.

Right, not fit for a CI/CD ... yet. Web hooks will be added soon.

And you've already made a cli, so creating and listing pull requests will be easy. Actually quite powerful, I'm sorely missing this feature in bitbucket.

Are read-only keys on the roadmap too? CI/CD pipelines don't really need write access in most cases.

Absolutely fine grain access control is a must have
