It was both.

A 24/7 repository and a 24/7 web URL for the code. Those two features together let devs inspect and download code, and open and discuss issues.

The URL also let automated tools download and install packages.

Familiar UI, network effects made the rest.

Exactly. The UI needs to live wherever the canonical home for the project is, at least until we have a federated solution.

I'm really looking forward to federated forges.
