We use Space due to GitLab's recent pricing changes.
We like:
- free git hosting
- free slack-like with sub-thread
- generous CI/CD
- built-in issue tracker
- built-in wiki
- very snappy
- has mobile app
We don't like:
- CI/CD script uses Kotlin DSL, feels "heavy".
- Issue tracker very basic, we end up using YouTrack. Still don't know how to integrate it lol.
- One project can have multiple repos, but they all share same permission. So we end up creating multiple projects e.g. mobile app, web, backend.
- Regarding multiple projects.. we end up creating another project just to contain wiki.
- Cannot trigger based on tag. We end up creating branch for different environment.
- Difficulty in writing CI/CD script due to limited documentation/knowledge on the net and unfriendly keyword ("space"? Lol. You have to type "Jetbrains space automation (keyword here)"
- At certain times VERY slow.
- Notifications in Mobile App sometimes not working.
We find confusing:
- Calendar
- Video call
Confusing because why add more features that's already best served by other services?
