Gitea drama and all, I'm jobless right now, and wanted to try this as a fun experiment to work in meanwhile.

I don't want to fork. How hard could it be to implement this in rust+typescript.

I mean there's already gitlab(ruby) which is pretty slow in cheap hw. and also gogs/gitea which are go based.

Can I just make the backend in rust and make bank? Meaning not making money (that'd be harder) but making it run on a raspberry pi or whatever cheap vps good enough.

Federation is another area worth exploring IMO that gitea has been not paying attention to
