It's time to announce GitNex 9.0.0 — our most UI-heavy update yet.
Features
- Redesigned home screen
- Markdown alert support
- Repository sorting (requires Forgejo 11.x)
- Revamped login screen UI
- Revamped app settings
GitNex 9.0.0 will bring major UI changes, including a switch from the drawer menu to a bottom navigation bar. It's still a work in progress, so things may change before the release hits the stores.
This version will also include support for markdown alerts.

Google stops using Pixel phones as reference devices for testing, device trees are missing from Android 16 source code release, making it harder for custom rom devs to port their roms to Pixel devices:

(Google doing their regular "boil the frog" thing... They started with giving Android app devs the option to block sideloading, then they announce to make the development process fully private, only push final releases to AOSP code base, and now this... We desperately need mobile Linux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))

I can see tons of #forgejo, #gitea or #gogs #selfhosted git servers out there in the wild. Which is cool. But I don’t see nearly as much about #softserve by the #charmbracelet peeps: https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve If you are after something small, and TUI is all you need, don’t miss out on this one! You can check the “demo mode” via `ssh git.charm.sh`. You’re welcome

So they use #Gitea under the hood and don't reference it once?
That's a very questionable business model, especially if the underlying tool is #FOSS.
Btw, there are more open/transparent other Forgejo/Gitea-based instances like #codeberg (https://codeberg.org) or #codefloe (https://coefloe.com)
