Is there something simpler, and leaner, than Gitea, which will allow me to see (as in read only) git repositories nicely on a web browser? Preferably a one-file-only solution, written in Golang.

Then you do use it, no? Right? :-D

I barely twt from my PHP instance.

Microblogging is often the antithesis of meaningful. You talk about everything, and anything you want. Even to the void. You have done it!

Yarn is niche. With it’s forks, and yarns, it comes across as a “weird” microblogging for some (weird was the word a friend from Philippines used to refer to Yarn). The UI/UX has issues (I am not an expert, but I would say copying “the others” and slightly adjusting to give Yarn it’s own uniqueness should work), and that keeps people away. The cache blows, I want to be able to see everything, at all times. The built-in search blows, I want a more “ala Google” kind of search. There is more, but you get the gist.

In-reply-to » Executing all tests of the online registrations I'm building for the scouts takes now 70 seconds. Initializing a new SQLite database in RAM and creating all the tables for each test case sums up and takes its time. During development cycles I more often resort to the -run flag for go test to specify only one area of tests to be executed. Much more fun this way to quickly go back to writing code.

@prologic@twtxt.net isn’t it evident? It surprises me you need to ask! 😂

I have been up, and ready to go for hours. Partner is still in bed. She takes such a long time to wake up on weekends! Past noon already, and we need to get food for the elders, and come back to tidy up things to get ready for the next weekly cycle.

Ugh! Where did the weekend go?!
