sourcehut is super confusing (programming.dev)

Anyone using soucehut (sr.ht)? Can you please explain to me how you navigate the site?

I really like the minimalist approach and extremely fast website UI, but I just cannot navigate the site.

If I'm looking at source of a repo on https://git.sr.ht/ and want to see open tickets, how do I navigate to https://todo.sr.ht/ ? If I click on "todo" at the top, it takes me to my todo lists, not todo of the project I was just looking at.

I agree, it's a great UI in terms of speed and no JS, but it's not super intuitive and not helped by the way it's been split into modules.

Basically, each subdomain (git.sr.ht, todo.sr.ht etc) doesn't link to the others - the only one that links everywhere is the root "sr.ht". You can think of sr.ht as a "hub" that links to the others. So - to take an example:

  • You can open "tickets" (todo.sr.ht) from https://sr.ht/~delthas/senpai/
  • But - if you click on "source" (git.sr.ht), the references to the other pages anymore (including back to the hub)

So, in your case, if you replace git.sr.ht with just sr.ht in the URL, it should take you back to the "hub" for that project. Then, if the tickets feature is enabled, you should see a link to "tickets" there.

Well, editing urls is not a convenient way of navigating a website.

I wish there would be at least a link from each of the modules back to the "hub" for that project.
