#2So it uses git, right? The readme should make that clear.
Re: Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
#3Isn’t git already open source and peer to peer?
So this is just a web interface to git? Like gitlab?

#4This looks like a fine project for its purpose, but I think git is already open-source and p2p. You don't need shWhat's missing in git is code issues, wikis, discussions, github pages and most importantly, a developer profile network.
We need a way to embed project metadata into .git itself, so source code commits don't mess up with wikis and issues. Perhaps some independent refs like git notes?

Radicle adds issue tracking and pull requests. Probably some of those other features as well.
On mobile there are buttons on the bottom of the screen in the op link, click those and you get to the issue tracking tab and the pull request tabs etc

You're missing the discovery part. You want to get the repository X from user Y cloned - how do you find it? Especially if you don't know Y and their computer is off?
Also radicle does want to tackle the issues / prs and other elements you mentioned as well.

its an open source alternative to github, not git

But that’s not what parent meant. Those things should be embedded in the git repository itself, in some kind of structure below the .git/ directory. That would indeed make the entire OSS ecosystem more resilient. We don’t need a myriad of incompatible git web GUIs, but a standard way of storing project management metadata alongside version control data. GitHub, Gitea, Gitlab, and this project could all store their data in there instead of proprietary databases, making it easy to migrate projects.

#10Is this the same Radicle that issued a crypto token ($RAD)?
If so, I'm glad that it completely failed and they decided to focus on the actual product of a 'P2P GitHub'.
Although stay away from their 'drips' crypto thing, looks like a tax and accounting nightmare for individuals and businesses.
