GitNex 5.5.0 is now OUT with a new comment UI, the ability to update your profile avatar, the option to insert notes to issues/PRs/releases, and many other improvements.
We have also reached 400 stars on #codeberg. Thanks to all for supporting GitNex all the way.
With the upcoming 6.0.0 release, GitNex will have different version numbers, such as 6.0.0, 7.0.0, and so on.
I hope you enjoy the new release and find it even more productive.
Not to rain on a parade of #GitLab and some #Fedora projects embracing #GitLabEE, but the official web UI and mobile apps (by enthusiasts) for surfacing it are in a sorry state.
Web: very JavaScript-heavy, not optimized for mobile.
Web (mobile): can't view comments without logging in.
Web: too many fields are immediately thrown into the mix, despite the lack of usage. Mobile apps: the complete absence thereof.
Web: issue tasks open either in a popup and as a separate page, but not easy to predict.
Web: you wanna click on the task - too bad, it's confused with drag-and-drop.
This all made me reminisce about #GitNex, #Codeberg, #Forgejo and plain ol' issues, without all that fluff. And then, there is #Pagure: it lets you work with issues and pull requests as #Git repos of their own. I have to wonder why fedorians resort to GitLab, when in-house solution (such as Pagure) exists. I assume, it's just that - a fluff. I simpathize it is hard to say no to these minute conveniences.
