   5 I have decided to drop Gitea as it's only really useful when you have multiple
   6 people collaborating on a project and is just bloatware otherwise. To
   7 demonstrate, here's how much bandwidth it takes to load in the old Gitea site's
   8 main page:
   9
  10 ![Gitea](./gitea.webp)
  11
  12 Here's how much it takes up with the amazing `gitweb`:
  13
  14 ![gitweb](./gitweb.webp)
  15
  16 If you do the math, you will find that the new `gitweb` site is roughly 22.18
  17 times smaller than the Gitea site! This will certainly help with browsing on
  18 older computers and weaker internet connections.
  19
  20 *(Also notice that `gitweb` does not make that pesky 3rd-party request!)*
  21
  22 I also expect to move some of my previous projects from Git{Hub,Lab} here
  23 relatively soon.

  25 # What about the old site?
  26 I will keep it as an option in case I by some miracle end up creating a project
  27 with lots of outside contribution as that's when it would become truly useful.
  28 Until then, I always accept patches sent with the venerable
  29 [git send-email](https://git-send-email.io).
