Re: Gleam Is Now on Tangled
#142First 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.
That was my experience too.

This isn't true. I knew what gleam was (though do not use it) and what tangled was already (and I do use it), and this announcement is new information to me.

#144Gleam looks interesting, but I can't say I'm too impressed with Tangled... it won't even let me sign up.

Apparently, that’s not enough. You will also need your own “app view” which means you will be self hosting an over engineered forge with social features you can’t use… so why go that road to begin with is beyond me tbh.
This is incorrect. You don’t have to host your own tangled appvew to log into tangled without having your atproto account on Bluesky’s PDSes. You CAN host your own Tangled AppView. You CAN host your own knot. You DO NOT have to in order to self host your own PDS. Each of these layers are decentralized from the other.
Nit pick: the layers are decoupled from each other, not decentralized. The data layer is internally decentralized. AppViews are a layer of centralized projections of the decentralized data layer.

Gleam is a popular language amongst people who like Erlang or Elixir. They are both built for the BEAM virtual machine. Tangled is a decentralized GitHub alternative built on ATProto (the same protocol as Bluesky)
Did they move away from github?

I have zero idea what your link has to do with the original post, which seems to just be the Gleam language on some new version control host?
> seems to just be the Gleam language
Ok so that "gleam" is a language (presumably programming language) is some of the missing context.
> on some new version control host
Is that what Tangled is? I guess I'll take your word for it.

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
That's your handle and it points to the server where your atproto account's data is stored. You can use this same login for other atproto apps and it will all be stored on the server at tngl.sh A username.bsky.social handle just means bsky set up that account and your data lives at the bsky.social PDS. You can migrate to a different PDS and change your handle if you don't trust them. You can host a PDS yourself if you like. I agree it's a little clumsy, but I'm sure friction can be reduced.
The idea is to give users control over their identity, network, and feeds instead of big social platforms like facebook or twitter that choose what content you see and lock you into their closed network.

I just happen to know of Gleam, the programming language.

I don't really know. It's just a guess from the looks of it. I also don't know why this is important that Gleam is on Tangled now. Shrug. What really confused me is the commenter's link, both the link itself and its relevance.

Makes me nostalgic for the old days (2000s and early 2010s) when everything was WordWord. Facebook, Instagram, Myspace, Dropbox, etc. Now it's just normal words without vowels. The Grindrification of naming.
