Apart from the fact that the onedev website is slow as a snail, I'm also a bit iffy about the help documentation's styling. It feels very cramped and tiny. If you compare your help docs [0] with eg. Microsoft's docs [1], the latter is much easier to read and less tiring to look at!

[0] https://code.onedev.io/projects/162/files/main/pages/quickst... [1] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/solutions/emp...

I also notice some outdated stuff like a 14px html and body font so your font size doesn't scale, as well as a fixed, 900px width div for your content. This all doesn't scale. Why haven't you set this up to be a bit more flexible?

wow, let's agree to disagree :D The MS site looks horrible cramped, and the title is waaay too large :P

Docs definitely needs to be improved. Currently I am writing all docs in OneDev itself, which may not be appropriate.
i'm using it since 3 full years now, Robin is doing great work !

Well, the doc is not perfect but let you start using advanced features, settings and workflows.

We're running our private instance and OneDev, it is fast and feet 90% our needs. it's our main central dev tool

wow, the onedev docs really do load extremely slowly - i gave up on waiting :/
It is running on a single 2 core medium class EC2 server. I am starting a powerful machine hoping to get things better during this HN traffic.
