It’s also an event organiser, +where you will be able to collaborate with others making events happen. + +Why is it not on GitHub/GitLab/any other popular hosting service? +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Because running my stuff is one of my hobby. I run my own Matrix homeserver, my own Mastodon +instance, why would my Git repositories be different? It might change in the future, though; I’m +not an enemy of said services and if this project turns out to be successful I might move it away +from here. -- 2.45.2
