Some people talk about mailing lists with a lot of reverence, but I have only ever found them to be extremely ugly and unreadable.
Are there any good clients out there that make them readable? For example a lemmy-like, threaded interface with interactivity? Or for PR/MRs an interface that shows the diffs with syntax highlighting, toggleable unified and side by side diff views, ability to comment within diffs and continue discussions within them (maybe even threaded)?
I don’t currently use mailing lists but when I did, I found Thunderbird very usable. Just set up a filter to move each list’s messages to a separate folder.
For merge requests, doesn’t the default GitLab web interface do those things already …?
Does gitlab have a mailing list function? That’d be new for me.
Forgejo lets you reply to issues via email: https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/incoming/ (if configured, not default).
No, I thought that was a separate question precisely because I don’t see a connection between merge requests and mailing lists.
Mailing lists are used for contributing to projects with code. Patches are submitted via email into the mailing list. See example.
That looks pretty much nothing like gitlab’s, Microslop GitHub’s, forgejo’s or even sourceforge’s page.
I see. Not familiar with any good interface for that.
Pity. Thank you :)
