Nice! Just added my e-mail to the waiting list.

I don't think I wanna do that! :)

My problem with Dropbox was when I had to share a repo with someone. How to do that? I created a shared folder. And then it becomes really hard to manage all this stuff. For 1-person usage, Dropbox works really great.

In this case, I did my own design. I always liked design my own stuff. So, I spent only time on this one! ;)

Thanks! ;)

Actually, I did it by myself. I have a BS, but I always liked design and I've being doing my own designs through the years! ;)

Yes, I am! :D

I can say that's is pretty safe. Backup is not an issue: copies of all repositories are stored on S3, CloudFiles and Linode's backup solution. People can't access your repos, unless you allow them to.

Nobody says that! I love Github. I used to have a paid account. I still have 100+ repositories in there. I just can't afford Github for my private repositories, which I think it's not for me anymore.
Re:Why I've built an alternative to Github on Monday June 20, 2011 @12:09PM (#2674770)
Maybe putting something like "(Virtually) Unlimited private Git hosting"?
Re:Why I've built an alternative to Github on Monday June 20, 2011 @12:08PM (#2674760)
Exactly my point! People can always set up their own stuff. The question is "is it worth?"
Re:Why I've built an alternative to Github on Monday June 20, 2011 @12:07PM (#2674753)
Not yet! Basecamp and some others tools like Pivotal Tracker will be integrated at the right time. ;)
Re:Why I've built an alternative to Github on Monday June 20, 2011 @12:06PM (#2674746)
Thanks! ;)
Re:Why I've built an alternative to Github on Monday June 20, 2011 @12:05PM (#2674742)
Yeah! One can always set up the whole thing, but for small shops and freelancers it makes no sense to manage something like this.

Maybe for hackers like us... ;)

Re:Why I've built an alternative to Github on Monday June 20, 2011 @11:59AM (#2674721)
Yeah, I'm working on it! Just had to do some things first before really working on "selling the product".
Re:Why I've built an alternative to Github on Monday June 20, 2011 @11:58AM (#2674715)
I wanted to solve both problems. I have 40+ repos, but about 50% are archives only. So, with 2GB I can store them and I also work on my current projects.
Re:Why I've built an alternative to Github on Monday June 20, 2011 @11:26AM (#2674546)
I know I don't need a web interface, at the same time I know people that loves and only uses the UI. Why not solving this specific problem and still making all other users happy?

Makes sense?

Re:Why I've built an alternative to Github on Monday June 20, 2011 @11:19AM (#2674502)
Yeah, There will be a way for buying additional storage. You'll by a whole GB. Don't want to have different plans, though.

I just wanted to see how many clicks that would have, but you're right. Just removed the link since I just don't care. ;)
