• hgfront

  1 0 10.0 Python

  Discontinued ABANDONED - A django-based front end for mercurial (hg).

Around that time I (and a couple of others) worked on the excitingly named hgfront (https://github.com/tanepiper/hgfront) which was a Mercurial frontend a little like GitHub.

There's a old low-res video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NARcsoPp4F8) of it in action.

I really liked Mercurial and used BitBucket for a while, but in the end GitHub won out.
