Yes, we will be offering official CI (though nowhere near as free as GitHub). We will also support 3rd-party CIs (like https://buildkite.com, https://depot.com) & self-hosted runners (similar to GitHub)

I think they all have different philosophies in approaching the problem.

* https://juju.bi - Local-first architecture

* https://cursor.com/docs/origin - Scalable VCS backend (this is actually very easy to implement by others)

* https://tangled.org, https://radicle.dev - Distributed forges

* https://entire.com - Very agent-centric

I think all they have to do is stop giving free CI to everyone and this reliability issue will be solved immediately.

I see in the post that lexicon has been finalized. Does that include putting the issue, pr & comment records under the repo scope instead of the user scope?

I am asking because I have been waiting for that change. I intend to make all the public repos from https://juju.bi (code forge I am building) interoperable with Tangled and basically behave as knot server.

I am trying to approach this problem from a different perspective at https://juju.bi

Can someone tell me why people prefer temporal over something like https://restate.dev?

Yes, it is a cloud service and CI. It is not region specific for now since I am not in EU.

How is this different from a custom forgejo hosted in europe? What features does this provide compared to traditional code forges?

I am working on a GitHub compatible API for my code forge at https://juju.bi, and thus all the existing integrations of GitHub should theoretically work with my code forge too.

FWIW, I really like what Tangled is doing and I agree that we need a federation of forges. Which is why, I am planning to use ATproto too for public repositories in the code forge I am building, https://juju.bi

I am building a new code forge at https://juju.bi

It's not agent-first, but I can't think of any features that are needed for agents other than scalability.

New comment by pksunkara in "Ask HN: Which GitHub features are needed in a code forge before you can migrate?"

pksunkara — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 10:10:32 +0000

Let me start off (assuming all code forges have PRs)

  1. Branch protection rules
  2. CI
  3. Terraform provider (API)

Ask HN: Which GitHub features are needed in a code forge before you can migrate?

pksunkara — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 10:08:54 +0000

Which GitHub features would you consider a blocker for migrating to a different code forge, and in what order do you prioritize them?

Context:

I am heads down building a code forge (https://juju.bi) based on three ideas:

  - Code collaboration part should work offline
  - Should be compatible with GitHub API (like how some services are considered S3 compatible)
  - Support `change-id` based features (ex: Jujutsu's evolog)

I shipped a super-early version that I am currently dogfooding. https://juju.bi/changelog/2026-07-01-alpha-release

I am currently focused on improving the experience for small teams working on private repos. I would like to polish the overall product before thinking about public repos. (A lot of great forges exist for public repos right now).

I would love to know the need behind pushing over HTTPS. Is the SSH protocol not good?

I think the CLI is useful for pushing. What do you use to push all the rebased child branches?

I am still curious why they stopped offering their original service. What was the feedback from users? Why did developers not want to use it?
