### What we like

Familiar interface with code browsing, issues, pull requests, packages, and workflow actions - designed to be a self-hosted alternative to GitHub. Flexibility in how it can be run, including with separate actions runners. Built in Go. Open source (hard forked from Gitea).

### Tradeoffs

Has no project management functionality other than issues, milestones, releases. The name is somewhat difficult!
