I'd love to hear why they chose a VC funded forge over e.g. Codeberg.
Doesn't really fit the 'friendly language' claim IMO

#52First hearing of tangled, tried signing up and this first time user experience needs to be tightened up. Currently unwilling to sign in because of the friction I ran into using a password manager. From what it looks like they: - ask you for an email - send you an email - ask you for a username - except you cant actually log in with this username directly - im being forced to learn some new social url protocol - why d…
Better than my experience with it, just says: >Failed to complete sign up. Try again later.
ha, I could not sign in and I already have an Atmosphere account!

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
[Radicle]( https://radicle.dev/ ) gets a wee bit closer. It’s selfhostable and federated. You’ll have a hard time finding something with the same social gravity well as GitHub; it remains to be seen whether that’s a separable element or if it needs to ship as part of the forge itself.
I’ve been testing Radicle and it’s more focused on the distributed protocol for federating git repos, I.e. the data plane. The social / coordination control-plane angle is really thin, following users and repos goes by opaque IDs, etc. It could be a better solution for agents that don’t bounce off such mundane complexity. It could be better for private repo federation (eg private collective or agent swarm.) I’m inter…
Issue and PR content are not social artifacts, they belong in the repo or at least its hosting instance. Likes and activity feed are the sort of thing that belongs in the social layer.

Fwiw the sign up/in process for me was "click login, type in my existing blue sky handle, type in my password (into a bsky domain name login prompt), click authorize". I expect that's the... more optimized flow at this point in this forge's life. > - why does the auth flow pass me through a new ui/url that seems owned by the project but visually disconnected (eg, different branding/colors for the form) Probably becau…
a "username.tngl.sh" schema, which is that I meant by the unfamiliar protocol in the next bullet

Oh, that is unfortunate. Bluesky implicitly adds the .bsky.social domain name. Hopefully tangled starts doing the same some day.
Re: Gleam Is Now on Tangled
#57I'm willing to give Tangled a go too with a project, but feature set to bridge the gap still has a long way to go (no idea how long it'll take). Github outages (especially when just viewing repos!) are getting way too disrupting.
Why Tangled instead of something more established like Codeberg, or if f/loss, Forgejo or Gitea? Just because ATProto vibes?

Codeberg's git hosting is a Forgejo instance, actually.

They're still on GitHub. This isn't any sort of official transition. It's just now also on this other ATProto-based forge.
Re: Gleam Is Now on Tangled
#59Github is fine. I know it has issues, but for the day to day random OS gig it has never failed me.
Project's still on Github, it hasn't migrated or anything.
Re: Gleam Is Now on Tangled
#60"federation" has a certain stink to it, I regret creating an account just now. I didn't realize it was that type of website.
