Hi, Peter the Founder of Pushin.eu here. Sorry, the website escaped containment and landed on HN before I had the chance to update the "marketing materials" aka. landing page. So, here are a few points:
*The product is stable, but still in development. That's why some of the core things like pricing, etc. are missing. BUT:*
1. Business Model: Pushin will have subscriptions for individuals and teams. Pricing is not yet decided but it'll be close to GitHub/GitLab pricing.
2. Privacy: In true German fashion, we *don't* want your private data. Pushin doesn't track anything beyond the obvious: email, password hash, username, whatever information you put on your profile.
3. Roadmap: We're currently in Beta, but everything looks good so far. We'll probably go GA beginning of 2027. I'll focus on delivering the core features first and make sure that they are polished and of good quality before moving on to the nice-to-haves.
4. I say "we" but it's really only me (Peter Ullrich, peterullrich.com) and my dog (Bella, Labrador, beige). "We" are not VC funded, but bootstrapping on bare metal Scaleway servers. My wish is for this to become a proper company soon though.
5. Tech-stack: Elixir (Phoenix + LiveView) for most parts, Rust for the Git parts, S3-compatible buckets and Postgres on Scaleway, servers are bare metal Scaleway servers running in Paris.
6. Git implementation: Just like Tangled, I've used Rust and the gitoxide libraries to build a Git implementation that's fully compatible with the canonical Git CLI, but uses S3-compatible buckets as storage instead of keeping the entire repo on disk. I'll write in-depth about this soon, but it's very much what Tangled did, just with a different storage concept.
I gotta be honest that I'm both scared but also excited that Pushin hit HN. I wish we'd be better prepared, but here we are. Many thanks to anyone who is willing to try it out!

If I want to create an account not to host repositories, but only to report bugs by opening issues in a repository of an application I'm using, do I still need an invitation code?

Its specifically based in France. This matters as EU law is less uniform than US law (yes, like differences between states, but a lot more so).
The UI is a lot snappier than Github.
The promise not to train models on the code is not very useful for public repos, and I cannot see anything about private repos.

I think this maybe needs some more time, to figure out what the actual plan with this is - if any.
also fits the description of "Git hosting that never leaves Europe".

I would want to know the pricing before I’d move anything there.
It should cost money - I just want to know how much.

Love it and will try to find a way to use it and pay for it.
That name though, does make me feel that somewhere in the stack is a tool called Gitler. Sorry!!

This looks really nice! I'm interested in how the CI works though. One thing that annoys me about existing CI is that it's difficult to run locally and relatedly, config files don't work cross platform.
I'd love a CI platform that just used a super thin docker + script driver. Rather than platform specific YAML files that define steps.
great idea, sadly full of vibe-code. I assume it was prompted by copying the style of some existing EU-style Design system.
Idea is promising though, hope it matures into something solid.

You shouldn't allow repos without descriptions. Do people really cannot be bothered to write one sentence that describes the repo?

Smells vibe coded.

I just moved from github to vodeberg then to my own self hosted forgejo on hetzner. I may wait awhile and then try yours.

Congrats, great project. More info would be appreciated, I.E upload limit in GB for each and in total?

I don't like vibe coding myself, but I love AI assisted development, my new bottleneck is no longer the search for syntax and features but my understanding. Am I welcome on your platform?
There's a possibility this was made by a person. Apart from that good luck getting any information behind this.

There has to be a more thorough solution here. The current form of EU is betraying EU citizens to the USA - we already saw this and were astonished how Leyen insta-submitted to the orange clown. This can no longer be explained by "better business deals", since this is systematic. So, Europe depending on the USA is a lose-lose scenario for EU citizens, including the lack of nuclear arsenal on an EU-wide basis. We see this right now with Putin committing his genocide - he knows that agent Krasnov will never do anything against him. So these isolated strategies such as "xyz never leaving Europe" is fine as a first step, but it needs to be integrated into a cohesive overall strategy, including doing something about US mega-corporations that are extremely hostile to european interests - aka Google, Facebook and so forth. At the very least the EU should help fund open source alternatives much more in a systematic manner, from A to Z. Even that in and by itself is not an overarching strategy, but it is the first two steps towards one.

Nice idea, zero trust signals. Don't even see company details or the folks behind and no legal pages.

>Bots are welcome. Slop gets blocked.
And yet the marketing copy is egregious AI slop.
