@nawi GitLab is just as usable as GitHub.

Open Source Software for the most part doesn't need to have high amounts of users to. GitLab is a perfect example: when the maintainers agree to use GitLab then it will all work out.
One can have a mirror on GitHub if one really wants to be searched there.

The argument "all the users are there" is bad. If someone is unwilling to click themself a free account then they are probably unwilling to perform valuable contributions too.

The reason why we are using proprietary wrapper around open source tools in order to develop open source social software is beyond me.

#GitHub is a proprietary service.
Right now, it's existence hurts the open source community more than it helps. Microsoft reserves the right, to restrict arbitrary people from accessing or collaborating on GitHub. Microsoft does not have a history of being good to FOSS, no matter how much their current CEO sais so.

@edtechdev that's mostly good web design.

The first three posters all suggest to organize the content with headers, don't write nonsensical garbage any maybe use a font that won't give the reader eye cancer

We all benefit from good webdesign - not just people who have a heard time reading text
