Nice! I just don't like that only Git is supported. Mercurial also needs love.

Definitely. The last time I checked, your only hosting options if you wanted to use Mercurial directly were Heptapod and ($DEITY help us) Sourceforge.

There's also sourcehut.

Is hg-git lacking specific features that you need?

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 hour ago

Using hg-git everywhere reinforces the idea that Mecurial is a second-class citizen. (Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that an option for interoperability exists, but I wish it weren't needed.)
