Nice detailed writeup. I'm also happily migrated from GitHub to self-hosted Forgejo for most of my work. Thanks for sharing your setup!

Typo on the /new-account page:

"Your only a moment away..." should be "You're" (or "You are") not "Your".

Looks clean and simple, though. I like that pricing is based on data stored instead of number of repos or users.

No plugin should be needed. As I recall, Marked simply watches the file for changes and reloads whenever you save from your editor.

It could be due to the retina display. iPhone4 has double the resolution of 3GS. Drawing 960x640 pixels vs 480x320 in canvas is going to have some noticeable impact.

While it's probably not exactly what you're looking for, Safari's Snippet Editor is great for whipping up some quick HTML with auto preview. Accessible via the menu, Develop > Show Snippet Editor.

No syntax highlighting which is kind of a bummer.

Why? He's clearly so happy with TextMate that he's willing to fork over more money for version 2 voluntarily. That doesn't sound like someone who's in need of a new editor.

Nice work. Would be great if unordered and ordered lists were stylized.

You're assuming that your static assets (js, css, images) aren't served from a CDN (pretty much the standard at companies like Yahoo!). When your main server is serving just the HTML it's much more likely that your requests could double.

Welcome improvements, for sure. I've been using WebKit (Safari, specifically) as my main development browser after abandoning FF some weeks ago and these additions address many of my migration annoyances. RGB colors and easily added CSS selectors are huge.

If we could get default rendering of XML and JSON documents (like the JSONView add-on provides for FF) I would be a very happy camper.
