OSS communities ... on GitHub only, seems to be the rest of that sentence: https://github.com/quack-ai/companion/blob/77281d882ff7b90fe...

there is also a tiny mention of it in the readme, but it's often hard to know how many times that's "shorthand" for "git based code forges" versus, as in this case, "we use the github api and others are on the backlog"

In case others went sniffing around looking for "does this use an OpenAI key?" the answer is yes but it's in the Python side: https://github.com/quack-ai/contribution-api#configuration

I appreciate the feedback about clarity, thanks! We'll update the documentation and agree to reflect that more accurately.

For now, we've started with VSCode as an IDE and used GitHub for authentication. But actually, we're already working with GitLab to add support. For other VCS, the prioritization will be demand-based as we don't want to spread thin early on.

Regarding the OpenAI part, as stated in the post, we're currently migrating the community version to self-hosted OSS models. If you sniff around the backend API repo, you'll see there is already a third-party service registered for Ollama and a corresponding docker-compose (https://github.com/quack-ai/contribution-api/blob/main/docke...). Our next release was already planned to switch to Ollama (keeping OpenAI as an alternative as well), so I'm thrilled if that goes along with the community preference!
