https://www.accessgrid.com/ - The best way to issue and manage secure NFC credentials for Apple and Google Wallet via API. No app required! We took all of the complexity of issuing MIFARE DESFire enabled NFC credentials and made it extremely developer friendly. SDKs in most major languages (python, ruby, csharp, js, etc), developer console with request logs, and more.

This is really cool!

While Git is great at asynchronous collaboration, its a bit clunky to try and work on the same commit with other devs or across devices. This is because Git tracks what changed, not how it changed.

It'd be cool if you were on the same branch as somebody else, or another device, and your working directories could be synced. It'd also be cool for the commit history to be a bit richer, so you could see who, what and when for a change at a keystroke level.

So I'm working on real-time sync for Git! I'd represent the working directory as a tree CRDT [1] and sync that through FUSE and p2p networking.

Not sure whether this is actually a good idea! This is a POC :)

We’re building a new social-enabled git collaboration platform on top of Bluesky’s AT Protocol: https://tangled.sh

You can read an intro here: https://blog.tangled.sh/intro (it’s publicly available now, not invite-only).

In short, at the core of Tangled is what we call “knots”; they’re lightweight, headless servers that serve up your git repository, and the contents viewed and collaborated upon via the “app view” at tangled.sh. All social data (issues, comments, PRs, other repo metadata) is stored “on-proto”—in your AT Protocol PDS.

We just shipped our pull requests feature (read more here: https://blog.tangled.sh/pulls) along with interdiffs and format-patch support! https://bsky.app/profile/tangled.sh/post/3lne7a4eb522g

We’ve also got a Discord now: https://chat.tangled.sh — come hang!
