Free static hosting tied to GitLab CI/CD
"I think making GitLab pages part of the community edition will make it easier to meet this criterion. Congrats, and thanks!"
"It automatically compresses images, js, etc., if you tell it to. It automatically deploys branches to a special subdomain."
"What really stood out to me about GitLab is how everything is integrated in one place. I used to juggle multiple tools for code hosting, CI."
"You can setup a landing page on Gitlab Pages with a custom domain and email capture form (and ssl, if you want) for free."
"You can host pages as public or limit it to GitLab users. Pretty handy if you already use GitLab."
"Love how GitLab combines code hosting, CI/CD pipelines and project management all in one place. Interface can be a bit overwhelming when you first start."
"GitLab is starting to look better than GitHub. Their pages can be slow to load sometimes, but their interface is far better in my opinion."
"GitLab Issues offers better ease of use and more modern interface, while Competitor A may have more advanced enterprise features."
"Some advanced features require higher-tier paid plans. Performance can lag with many users or projects."
"I had very few issues over the years. I had to create some glue to improve support of let's encrypt certs for things like pages & co."
"GitLab now offers free GitLab Pages that lets you build your (web)site with any static (web)site builder in ruby e.g. Jekyll."
"Both offer great solutions at different scopes and the speed of which each deploy shouldn't matter too much."
"To be honest, I can't think in a bigger issue related to GitLab, but sometimes I felt its interface was a bit heavy."
"GitLab Pages may not offer as many customization options as other hosting platforms, which could be a drawback for developers."
"The support we needed for some bugs with incorrectly notified false-positives and other issues were not quickly resolved and left our development team."
"It's like trying to make a calculator in assembly (gitlab pages) instead of python (github pages)."
"My opinion of GitLab is that it can do a few things acceptably well, but delivers way too many unfinished features."
"From experience, there's absolutely zero engagement from the team unless it's a paying customer."
"Gitlab wiki is the worst wiki software, which should be expected as it's not the focus of gitlab. It's like... bad, loads of bugs, no features."
