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?

Exactly, even if one doesn't know about either of these things (gleam & tangled), all it would take is one or two searches or even better they just visit the homepage. I suppose people have become so used to reading llm generated bluff that simple things don't appeal/make sense to them anymore.

At some point, narcissistic injuries in response to "rtfm" or "stfw" got so prominent that just telling people asking others to spend their time explaining things that were 5 second google searches away to google it became a faux pas

I have no idea what Gleam or Tangled is, so for me this headline might as well be an article from The Onion satirizing HN. I also refuse to believe any of these two things are large enough, like say Postgres, that one can claim everyone should know it. Surely writing an informative headline for ”hackers in general” can’t be that difficult.

If you click on the title, it will tell you more. Gleam has had many dozens of front page posts here. Tangled is a niche GitHub alternative, but has also had previous history.

Headline reminds me of Poob. https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/3056633-poob-has-it-for-you

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.

There was no shortage of names like that. A lot of them rebranded later. Remember twttr?

Tangled is also VC funded, something to consider.

It doesn't really matter, you can host your own knot (git backend), spindle (CI/CD worker), and there are already alternative apps to access the same public, consumable records without centralized infra: https://untangled.wisp.place/

It matters a lot. As seen with GitLab and countless other projects.

I mean, it really just doesn’t here. Every part of the Tangled stack is open source, self-hostable, and interoperable. There are already clients that never hit Tangled infra.

If Tangled the company made a decision you didn’t like, you could continue to use the software and keep your social graph, repositories, etc. without them. That’s simply not true with GitLab, it’s a closed ecosystem by instance. Tangled is not that.

We all know why... as a condition of some monetary support. It does give a sour taste, really shows what core values are: money > community. I'll just focus on using elixir for a project instead.

No I don't know this. Do you have any source for that?

There are now two upstreams you can git fetch from; open your eyes, capitalism has gone too far!

I agree (with caveats and not as strongly), but claiming no utility is a bit much.

> They reinvented a worse Twitter (it failed) Bluesky has 9-11x times the number of total users as Twitter did three years after its launch. It has somewhere between 15-20x the number of MAUs as Twitter had. It has not failed even a little bit. > Now they're trying to reinvent a worse GitHub (not off to a great start) You seem to think this is the same group of people who started Bluesky. You’re wrong. Not only that,…

Why not respond to OP? I don’t care enough for a debate.

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.

Interesting point, I was thinking more about the latter, but you are right that issues and PRs are the more important piece.

It does look like Tangled currently does those in a weird way, ties to the issue owner rather than repo - but here’s a proposal to fix: https://leaflet.pub/p/did%3Aplc%3Axasnlahkri4ewmbuzly2rlc5/3...

Doing some weird distributed join across all your committer’s PDSs seems a bit weird, and the semantics of cross-referencing issues seems gnarly in that world.

I think I’d be OK to model a PR as a tweet, it’s more owned by the sender. But issues seem like they should be owned by the repo for sure.
