I'm surprised out of all the drama surrounding M$ purchase of GitHub I haven't seen many mentions of BitBucket https://bitbucket.org/ https://bitbucket.org/ I've been using this for years now since you get free private repos.

The biggest complaint that I've seen against bitbucket is the ties to Atlassian and the fact it is a closed source product. Most of the ones featured here are some form of open source or open core for GitLab.

Last I looked it was limited to 5 users. Gitlab on the other hand offers unlimited users and limited repo size: 10G.

pre-Atlassian BitBucket was a lovely app, then they landed that Web 9.0 JS abomination redesign. Because waiting 30 seconds for uncached Javascript assets to load while on the clock is totally acceptable, when all you really need is 500 bytes worth of a Git directory listing to render. Left feedback, no response. Left feedback again, still no response. Moved everything to GitLab. It's really hard to see great apps like this (and Reddit as a more recent example) destroyed by.. seemingly.. people given too much time to do their jobs. I'm not a front end guy, but the feeling I get is that it has the same problem as backend. Can't just cobble a few well-tested Django views together any more, must have a 16-microservice mess to ensure the CV is fully padded. Makes me so sad

  You should try the new BitBucket, it's awesome.

    Is BitBucket still an Atlassian product?
    - theprotocol 8y ago
      It is.
      - inferiorhuman 8y ago
        Yeah that would be a deal breaker for me.

    You and I have different standards of awesome. Mine does not include placeholders following every click. https://cl.ly/3p3a2e3C0K2T https://cl.ly/3p3a2e3C0K2T

      Yes Attlassian have pretty disappointing UX standards IMO, JIRA has similar issues since the redesign.

        Man, Atlassian... they royally screwed up with SourceTree as well; v2 is unusable on many systems, to the point that myself and many users have downgraded to v1. For a bit of entertainment, take a look at this open issue https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-7374 https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-7374 created on 01/Jun/2017. Yes, an issue that makes the product unusable for many users, that has been open for over a year now.

      That specific issue is a misfeature of whatever frontend framework they're using, and is present on many other sites as well.

    It's about as awesome as getting stabbed in the eye with a white-hot fork.
