Unfortunately, no. It looks pretty broken. I got to the list of issues 
on our EMBA Gitlab installation, but the available features are pretty 
bare (reading the comments doesn't work after all). And the same 
scenario didn't work for gitlab.com because one of the steps is "browse 
all projects". This seems to lead to a timeout. All in all, I wouldn't 
recommend this project in its current state.

People have previously recommended Forge, and I'm looking into it, but 
it's tied to Magit, and the workflow is such that you first check out 
the repository locally, they you set up its "forge" from the Magit UI, 
and then you can interact with it.

It's supposedly quite functional, but visiting a random issue on Gitlab 
is not that easy to do.
