Someone looked at git - a distributed version control system that already works, that has been working since 2005, that Linus Torvalds wrote in a fit of pique and spite, and that currently hosts approximately all of the world's source code - and said, "This is good, but what if we added BitTorrent?" And then, presumably after consuming substances that I cannot legally inquire about, they continued: "And what if we ad…

AD: You missed the part about CRDT's!

I couldn’t find anything sarcastic to say about them. CRDTs are awesome :)

I discovered Radicle back in 2020 (when their website looked incredible: https://web.archive.org/web/20201201030505/https://radicle.x... ). I bounced off of it, in part due to being unable to effectively delete repositories.

This is cool. I think it fits the Agentic model a lot better; wrangling PATs and repo permissions on GitHub is quite tedious.

Jujutsu + stacked PRs.

It does work with jujutsu. Not sure about stacked PRs. https://radicle.dev/2025/08/14/jujutsu-with-radicle

I am surprised you don't use RustChat[1] [1] https://rustchat.io/

How does it compare to MatterMost [1]? [1] https://mattermost.com/

It doesn't have these pesky message and user limits, unlike Mattermost[1].

Gotcha! Though that is not for the self-hosted version IIUC?

What are you missing from Radicle today that would make you chose Tangled over it?

The general idea is using the radicle-ci-broker [1] to hook into repo events, and trigger different adapters based on the specific CI/CD tool you use.

We'll have more docs on this very soon. Also see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48153535 for more info
