Honestly not that big of a deal given that(I would assume) most probably run their own gitlab runners. I personally use the free tier and have a bunch of my own runners.

Basically a rip off of https://www.linear.app

Thanks for your reply, but this wasn't the one I saw!

Recently - linear app.

Long term - Vi/vim as many have mentioned already. Well, more specifically it's bindings in vscode, but still. It's just so powerful :)
