Small teams often need Git hosting but don’t want to rely on cloud providers like GitHub. Create a lightweight, self-hosted Git platform with collaboration features like issue tracking and pull requests. Indie developers and small businesses would pay for privacy and control. Start with basic Git hosting and gradually add features. The biggest risk is competing with established players like Gitea, but a focus on simplicity and ease of setup could win users.
