Don't know how to change the url in HN, but the following url is a community for gitq.com itself: https://gitq.com/GitQLab/gitq.com

I often end up asking questions in GitHub issues, not a good place for discussions though. Finally someone offered this service. Nice!

That's why we build this service and hope that we can provide the best discussion service for the open source communities.

Interesting! I built Gitcussion for the exact same reason few years ago. https://gitcussion.com/

This is awesome! I don't understand why this hasn't got more upvotes. I've just created a forum for my project:

Now time to get people talking about it ;)

What relation does it have to Git? Have you read their mailing list about the Git Trademark? https://public-inbox.org/git/20170202022655.2jwvudhvo4hmueaw...

Say that to Gitter.

No need to do that. Gitter started the same year (2014) but before the Git trademark were granted, so this does not apply.

Edit: also Mr and Mrs Git don't need to change their name - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtyO4tmpPdk

This is nice. I want something like this, and I've seem a lot of project maintainers ask for it also, so it's strange it hasn't got more upvotes.

In a lot of cases people want "Gitter for forums", but they end up creating mailing lists. This thing solves that problem.

There's also https://spectrum.chat/, a forum-as-a-service tool which I find great, although it is totally unrelated to GitHub.
