I beg Foss devs to work on their branding. Forgejo? How’s that even pronounced?
This is an especially tragic case. IMO, Gitea has one of the best names in software.
Forge-yo
i thought it’s Forge (as in Forget) - Jo (as in Joe)
Nein
9! 9! 9!
NGL I would not have assumed that
I’ve been doing so many German lessons, I just say what I see. But it’s confirmed on the FAQ
Where does the name come from?
Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge.
Oh yeah I forgot about the Esperanto inspiration!
I think it sounds cool 🤷
They have a pronunciation guide in their FAQ on the website. There is no branding that would be obvious/intuitive to everyone
There is def stuff that could be better though.
There is no better. Maybe they pick a name that’s more intuitive for you, but it’d be less intuitive for someone else.
No ActivityPub integration yet sadly.
don’t think AP is suitable for a gh-like website, it’s one of the cases where another protocol (or protocol extension) makes a lot of sense
They’re definitely working on it and they’re quite far along https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59#issuecomment-1781062
