What do you hope to offer that wouldn't be found in, say, GitLab?

GitLab is a completely different platform.

This comes to solve the problem of the terrible UX in the most widespread git service. I won't dare to try to convince my whole team, or company, to migrate to GitLab, but this can be easily adopted.

My main goal is to offer a more modern and smoother experience than GitHub, add some features on top of it like push notifications, triage of notifications, a better editing experience,… and integrate the desktop app with your local git

My point is that there are already many alternatives to GitHub, so you'll want to define your niche a bit better than that.

This is not an alternative to GitHub but an alternative frontend. The backend is still GitHub.
