Few thoughts:

1. What is the workflow for a single tired developer who just wants to publish a few Java packages from Gradle? Is there a howto or tutorial for this?

2. Your "supported formats" list [1] is just icons, which is very cute, but i have absolutely no idea what the icons for Gradle or Maven are, so i was sat there mousing over every one to see what you have. I highly recommend captions on those icons.

2a. The Go link on that page is broken.

2b. The "pop culture banner coming soon" stamps made me laugh, good work.

3. Have you approached Gradle about getting added as a convenient / default repository? Adding cloudsmith() rather than a full repo string would be a tiny but perhaps significant bit smaller speedbump to adoption.

Just to update on this:

1. We have fixed the link for Go

2. We have added some rollover captions for the formats, and you can also see a full list here : https://help.cloudsmith.io/docs/supported-formats

3. we haven't yet approached Gradle, but it's absolutely something we will look at.

Thanks again. Very much taken on board.


Superb Feedback. Thanks very much for this.

There are how-to's / guides in a few places. For gradle, you have our general documentation like https://help.cloudsmith.io/docs/gradle-repository and then within your repositories you have contextual "set me up" docs, which come ready to cut and paste into your configs. A little hard to explain without showing you, which I'm happy to do at any stage if you want a call to chat.

Our free trials are fully featured, and our free plan includes public repositories of course also.

Again, thanks for the feedback. Super Helpful.
