cool! I really love the design!

#42I wonder if they started on an Ethereum 2.0 L2 implementation. Maybe it can actually be almost the same thing?
Almost the same thing as what?

#43What a nice funky design. That front page has a soul, unlike almost everything else I see nowadays.
Especially for a FOSS project! Usually they tend to go with a default theme with the most drab design. As an engineer, I sympathize with the effort needed to make it look good though.

> Actually, Gitlab and Gitea allows mirror of Github repos with Issues/wiki/PR etc. But GitHub does not mirror the issues/PRs from anyone, so it's a very one-sided connection.
That's problem of GitHub.
Yes, but that's a problem for the users which GitHub has every incentive to never solve. It is a problem of github and projects like radicle are a solution.

You need internet for pull and push. I think(hoping) that they meant within a LAN it could work without internet.
(I'm not shooting the messenger here) If so, that would mean pushing/pulling within the LAN only... which Git supports already
If Github is unreachable, you don’t have a bugtracker, wiki etc. - you are working “blind”.

#46Re: Radicle: A peer-to-peer alternative to GitHub
#47i think this is technically interesting, but i'm curious in practice what it gives project maintainers over hosting their own gitlab instance or similar...
I guess for projects that run a risk of being shut down by RIAA or a government, this removes that single point of failure rather than moving it?
I can’t see the point for projects that don’t run this risk though.

you don't need to give your email to download the client no.

#49"Work securely offline" Is... is that a problem with GitHub that stops you from doing that?
The design of GitHub means that your canonical upstream is only accessible through the internet, and so are your issues, PRs etc. If you're offline, you can't access it, and if GitHub is down, same story. Radicle, on the other hand, keeps all of this replicated locally, so push/pull works offline, and the code/social artifacts are replicated asynchronously, when you are online, but you don't need to be online to work…
How does push/pull work off line? That sounds impossible. Just scheduling a push doesn’t actually push anything. That’s like commuting to my local GitHub repo and having a scheduled push/pull every 10 minutes then?

#50This seems so unnecessary, replace the blockchain stuff with email and you have git as it was originally intended. no custom software needed.
