I have never heard of tangle before - are many people using it? What are peoples opinions of it?

It's quite a cool technical concept, and I really like their design sensibility, but don't know anybody using it "in prod".

Pro-tip if you're a Tangled newbie: migrating knots and spindle on your Tangled PDS before building Bobbin?

Remember that Bobbin "is only a glorified edge index, in the graph theory sense. Additionally it has a record cache, re-filled on demand. All other data that Bobbin serves comes live from PDSes & knots."

You want to first nixery bao proxy spindle with AppRole credentials, then xrpc your punchcard via ATProto. The docs explain all of this clearly, so be sure to read them thoroughly.

Knots? Spindle? Bobbin?

And they say skeuomorphism is dead.

the blogpost about bobbin is an engineering deep dive. you don't need to know any of this to use tangled.

Aww, I thought this might be a literate programming wrapper around grotesque yaml action programming...

It's also VC backed so you know it'll turn bad sometime in the future.
