Was this the git hosting service that wanted to have things like federated (in this case im talking about cross instance) cloning, searching and issue hosting?
I may be mistaken in general but iirc there was a hosting service like this that I found super interesting, especially in light of things like DMCA abuse against projects hosted on github and gitlab.
EDIT: seems like it is one of two, forgefed is a protocol it will use, activitypub one, very interesting.
very exciting indeed. can’t wait to try it out when federated tickets and PRs are a thing.
