Just as a warning, I don't consider gogs to be stable enough for production use. There's data race errors that pop up, resulting in errors resolving various assets. I've had everything from user's avatar icons to the main homepage randomly error out as 404. The dev doesn't seem to understand that data races, i.e. unsafe cross thread data access, is an issue. In addition, note that it and least some of the libraries it uses are written by devs for whom english is at best a second language, so expect difficulties communicating. Finally, a lot of the paradigms it uses are considered un-idiomatic by the golang community at large, so don't expect assistance from the community(for instance, dependency injection and reflection powered "magic").

Considering that English is not their native language, I'd say they're doing pretty darn well so far. Speaking with at least one of the developers personally and via email, I've never had any trouble.

> don't expect assistance from the community

Well that's a mighty presumptuous thing to say about a lot of good people. By and large, the Go community likes Gogs and its developers. I've met Jiahua personally. He's a solid guy and one really dedicated developer. Overall, the Go community wants Gogs to be great.

If you don't like Gogs, you don't have to use it. But you're raising a warning about it because you think the Go community treats it like some sort of poison and that the developers are incompetent. Neither are true.

I tried to get the developer to fix my issue, or even consider it as an issue, but got no where.

I'll admit, I don't speak for the community as a whole, but about every go developer I've spoken to has the same feeling I do, and it's echoed all over the web. Macaron, the central framework, is inspired by, and rather heavily follows, the style of Martini. It's dependency injection and runtime reflection code style is considered highly unsafe. But don't take my word for it, maybe you'll listen to the author of Martini? http://codegangsta.io/blog/2014/05/19/my-thoughts-on-martini...
