Glad to see new work in this space. Sorcia looks very clean, and well implemented.

I only noticed one issue, which is very much an edge case: when trying to view a file with third party JS disabled (i.e. the Cloudflare JS sourced script), the file is rendered quite poorly. Would be nice if the service degraded gracefully and used a simple pre tag or similar.

I must also admit that I am interested in a more "non-technical" git frontend -- one that puts the file tree up front and center, leaving details like remotes and commits in out of the way views.

If anyone is interested in other options, see also:

Wow, did not expect to see grarr mentioned on HN. I should mention that it's basically dead at this point, and IMO would need a full rewrite to resurrect (the web framework it's built on is unmaintained and has been superseded by much nicer ones, the templating it uses is based on a compiler plugin that only works with a few years old nightly compiler).
What a shame. I do like the interface quite a bit beyond the themes.
