   $WORK is the worst offender in my experience for photographing and   
   posting.

   Codeberg is a German non-profit with a lot a github features. Self   
   hosting is always an option, but not one I necessarily like for a lot of   
   projects. I've found it not entirely obvious how to download source   
   (as opposed to just view one version) from some self-hosted projects   
   and having a issues tracker with an easy sign-up is useful, if only   
   to see how issue response works. For some things I'm entirely okay   
   with zero response to bugs, but for other things I'd like to see more.
