What a nice funky design. That front page has a soul, unlike almost everything else I see nowadays.
I came here to say just the opposite. The first thing I did when seeing the frontpage was to leave. It just felt overcrowded, unreadable and aggressive to me. It's fun to see how different our opinions can be about this kind of things, I really didn't expect it in this case but here we go :)

I think it is Free as in Freedom.
That's possible, but they also mention "Completely open source" in the same list, and that would make "Free as in Freedom" redundant.
- Bloating codebase so much that it can't be audited, extended or forked easily
- Tightly controlling the development
- Open shims for opaque blobs
- Hiding documentation and troubleshooting information
Freedom is more about intent than definitions.

this is naïve. the problems being addressed do exist, independent of whether this particular solution will work. that’s great that the status quo is working for you, but it’s silly to then assert that progress cannot be made.
Well maybe our "naive" approach might be worth investigating. Because we put so little time into ridiculous missions like "distributed issues because git is also distributed", we are able to focus more on the product, customers, and processes. You know, things that actually drive business value and pay out everyones' bonus checks at the end of the year. We have actually considered doing a complete in-house implementa…

Those keys absolutely need to be rotated, regardless of whether you delete the commit or repo after accidentally pushing them. At which point you may as well leave them there...
Keys probably aren't the best example. What about PII, accidentally committed "test" data, documents, nudes, whatever..
You may get lucky and remove/hide it fast enough, or think you did...
This is an with Github today, all public repos are being watched by bots reviewing all commits for accidentally-pushed credentials.
The only solution is to not use a public repo.

If repos are public, then you must assume that once something is pushed then someone has copied it. You may get lucky and remove/hide it fast enough, or think you did...

On GitHub yes someone might be watching, but deletes are still possible.
I've installed the "upstream" client but I must say that I'm a bit confused. I imported a couple of git repositories that ended up on http://seedling.radicle.xyz/ , so I thought I did it right, but then if I try to add projects from that very page it keeps searching and never finds anything (they're stuck in "keep looking" mode). Also I don't see how you can create issues. Is it not implemented yet? It's an interesti…
It's weird to think P2P is becoming all the craze for "privacy" while it's the backbone of the internet: it is p2p. It's just nowadays its more of P2(big cloud servers)2p; which could be a good thing depending on who you ask and your usecases.
I always thought maintaining servers was silly since BitTorrent already proved we can achieve higher bandwidth throughput using lots of clients communicating together. But p2p is more about the network connectivity than whether the node is an Amazon server or a mobile phone. The normal Web for instance does not build on this network nodes capabilities. We need more apps that build these kind of collaborative and self…
Now, the downside of this mvp is that there is no project discovery in the client itself. We need to go search for projects in a browser, in this page http://seedling.radicle.xyz/ which is a bit confusing. Considering the client itself is electron, it could at least, open this page for us somewhere. Or, we could at least have a less "noisy" seedling page focused on search and I would not even know it wasn't part of the client itself.
Overall, awesome project. I really hope it will grow and add the missing essential features. If I could vote, with priority these would be:
- project discovery integrated in the client - issues support - pr support - multiple identities
Anyway, great job!
