identity and social interactions happen on atproto. you can bring your existing account, join any knot, and have an experience similar to bsky: a unified feed.
A unified feed of what, though? And what social interactions do you mean — pull requests, comments? From the UX perspective, is there anything more to it than a "federation of GitHubs"?
One of the nice things in the federated wiki was you could fork "cells" ( like jupyter cells ) and then continue working on those. One could think of apps like note taking, discussion of parts of text, even actual threads based on that ( although that might be best left to the standard app )...
This is intriguing. (Not a nonsequitur I promise) have you read Neal Stephenson’s Fall, by chance?
There’s a piece of hypothetical social media tech in that novel that I think our incoming genai dystopia future will require, and I wonder if tangled would be part of it.
It’s not my favorite Stephenson book, but the first third of it is so scarily prescient.
(The tech is a hypothetical distributed cryptographic way to build trust that a picture or post or video on social media is real and not an impersonation.)
hey xe i've added you to the default knot!! feel free to create repos etc and play around :D (you'll need to add your ssh pubkeys from settings to push)
no plans as of yet! forgefed is activitypub and that makes it a bit of a chore to build on… perhaps someone might build a bridge or a forgefed compatible knot!
So... how does this differ from other git services? Like, isn't git by definition decentralized? Isn't this solving a "problem" that isn't a problem?
Not taking away from this being cool btw
I think this is to facilitate sharing and discovery. Just putting your code into a local git repo doesn't expose it to anyone else. Even if you put your server online, nobody will know of it. This is where Github etc come in, this is an alternative to Github I think.
I don't think i have the ability to invite you, that said if you use https://web.libera.chat/ and go into #tangled they should be able to get you set up!

Check it and thank you 🙏
This is literally unusable, I want a refund.
we’ll make this not invite-only + explore other alternatives to irc haha. thanks for checking it out!
make sure to add your ssh pubkeys from the settings to be able to push! :) i'd love to hear y'alls thoughts.

Give them a follow!

So the application wouldn’t be only social coding, but simply “this is me and my friends vouch for it” on a social media/social graph etc
I mean... I'm not opposed to doing that?

it is very cool though
