Like infinite incremental loading that randomly stops working and also breaks browser's built-in search functionality because the thing you want to find is not loaded yet until you scroll down? Yeah, I'm glad they can't do that BS.
Making a good service isn't only about what you can technically do. I'd say it's much more about what you choose to do with whatever tech you have at hand. My experience with GitLag is that it's slow and the UI is generally clumsy (I have to use Google so often to find my way around), and you run into antifeatures like infinite scrolling and this: https://i.imgur.com/Qmtec2b.png
Sadly I think all these sites (SourceHut, Github, Gitlab..) have things to learn from cvsweb. That is, if one could ever convince them to prioritize convenience over prettiness. That is, probably never.

I'm a Frontend Engineering Manager at GitLab for specifically the area of Create, which is where your screenshot falls under.
We do value convenience and good experience. We're in the final steps of preparing a significant improvement to the Repository Browser [1]. We steered away from things like virtual scrolling exactly for the reason you mention: it breaks the browser's built-in search functionality.
We're currently putting the repository refactor up to feature completeness with a plan to make this as fast and useful of an experience as possible on a modern browser. Navigating between folders is much swifter than if we didn't use any JavaScript at all, just to name one of the benefits. Another benefit of using JS here is the fuzzy file finder (press t on any folder and it pops up). All in the sake of convenience. We hope you'll appreciate the efforts we've put into these details.
Feel free to drop your thoughts on the Epic or creating new issues. Tag @andr3 on them and I'll follow up. We're listening.
This sentence was totally uncalled for.
Here, let me fix that for you:
"And I think Drew DeVault is kind of an asshole."

On one hand, I agree that people being less-than-super-kind might be off putting, on the other hand I'm kinda tired about this age's push to always be super condescending about pretty much anything.
Some people have a tough/tough personality, get over it.
At the end of the day that's all that really matters. Look at Linus's many rants. People who get mad at him usually tried to assert their <insert special status here> as a reason for why their code/ideas get rejected. Reality is, most of the code just isn't up to quality standards and maintainers don't have the time to hold your hand and explain why it isn't.
>But I also personally know people that were turned off of Sourcehut because of the way he interacts with the community in some cases.
He made someone mad in one of my channels because he cracked a 10+ year old IRC joke and that person didn't get it. So now of course they are going to boycott everything he does and smear him as a misogynist.
> When your project is a one man (now two) show, that kind of thing matters a lot.
No, this means you can tell people to pound sand and not have to deal with HR and politics. It's the exact opposite of what you think.
We have real problems in the world, like bigger than a bad joke or a rejection letter. We should absolutely shame/ridicule businesses that have revenue models but then choose to open these shady channels on the side (like this telemetry). We should be suspect of VC firms that take <insert brutal regime here>'s money.
Maybe stop making misogynistic jokes? Doesn't matter how old they are, not even sure why the age of the joke is relevant.
Lastly, telling people to pound sand has to be one of the worst business strategies I've heard of.
