  • opem

    today at 8:24 PM

    Exactly, even if one doesn't know about either of these things (gleam & tangled), all it would take is one or two searches or even better they just visit the homepage. I suppose people have become so used to reading llm generated bluff that simple things don't appeal/make sense to them anymore.

First hearing of tangled, tried signing up and this first time user experience needs to be tightened up. Currently unwilling to sign in because of the friction I ran into using a password manager. From what it looks like they:

- ask you for an email

- send you an email

- ask you for a username

- except you cant actually log in with this username directly

- im being forced to learn some new social url protocol

- why does the auth flow pass me through a new ui/url that seems owned by the project but visually disconnected (eg, different branding/colors for the form)

- my password manager couldnt bridge the gap

I'm notoriously fickle about dealing with signup/login friction, but the project sounds cool so hopefully my feedback is more actionable than curmudgeony.

• gpm

  today at 5:23 PM

  Fwiw the sign up/in process for me was "click login, type in my existing blue sky handle, type in my password (into a bsky domain name login prompt), click authorize".

  I expect that's the... more optimized flow at this point in this forge's life.

  > - why does the auth flow pass me through a new ui/url that seems owned by the project but visually disconnected (eg, different branding/colors for the form)

  Probably because of the above, identity isn't tightly associated with the app you're using here so they've stood up their own infra for it but probably not spent too much time on making it good.

  > - except you cant actually log in with this username directly

  Really? That's strange... I haven't made a native account... what do you need to login with then?

    ha, I could not sign in and I already have an Atmosphere account!

I tried Tangled and tried to run my own Knot, the problem I had was I'd create a repository, have it get created correctly on my Knot, but then would never see any updates to the repo on Tangled itself.

The main issue is that even though I had the knot with IPv6 connectivity, it only really reliably worked once I enabled lots of IPv4 NAT'ing and also created a dummy A record for the Knot.

This is a known issue - https://tangled.org/tangled.org/core/issues/494

I'd love to hear why they chose a VC funded forge over e.g. Codeberg.

Doesn't really fit the 'friendly language' claim IMO

• nasso_dev

  today at 9:09 PM

  "being on tangled" really just means "publishing sh.tangled.* atproto records"

  the beauty of atproto means that you are in no way tied to the VC funded company behind the web app available at tangled.org. you merely publish your git repository using a protocol that this app will pick up and present with a nice UI

  any other app that speaks atproto and looks at those same sh.tangled.* records will be able to access everything in the same way

  and even the git repository itself doesn't need to be hosted by tangled the company, you can host your repository yourself. all you need is a server that can speak git, ssh, http and websocket

  • isodev

    today at 9:41 PM

    > the beauty of atproto means that you are in no way tied to the VC funded company behind the web app

    This is false: you’re tied to both tangled (unless you want to self host a forge, which if you did you wouldn’t have picked tabgled) and Bluesky for your login to keep working (unless you want to self host a complex constellation of social media components).

    • nasso_dev

      today at 10:05 PM

      > you’re tied to both tangled (unless you want to self host a forge, which if you did you wouldn’t have picked tabgled)

      this is true today only because nobody has made an alternative "frontend". but the data is there, public, for anybody to see. they can't take it from you even if they really wanted to. in fact, tangled has been working on making it easier for such third-party "frontends" to exist: https://blog.tangled.org/bobbin/

      > and Bluesky for your login to keep working

      you seem to be misinformed. "your login" is handled by your PDS, whichever it is. self-hosting a PDS doesn't require you to host anything beyond a sqlite database and a websocket connection. they are easy and very cheap to host, nothing like a "complex constellation of social media components"

      today you can already 100% use atproto apps without having any ties whatsoever to bluesky:

      - data: non-bluesky-hosted pds (either your own or some other host) for your data

      - identity: the did:plc directory is managed by an independent swiss association, but you can even use did:web if you really want to

      - relays/apps: blacksky is an example of a fully independent stack

    • nerdypepper

      today at 11:20 PM

      you can selfhost all components of tangled, takes about 200mb of memory and zero disk at the moment (api.tangled.org is completely stateless!): https://blog.tangled.org/bobbin/

    • blackqueeriroh

      today at 9:55 PM

      Weird, I host exactly one thing (my PDS) and I am not at all tied to Bluesky for my login to keep working. Everything else is already publicly hosted by MANY others.

• lpil

  today at 9:03 PM

  While the way that Tangled is funded is not my preference, I see great potential in atproto for improving the internet. This and and a lot of interest in the Gleam community for the protocol made me decide it was a good place to host a mirror of the Gleam repository.

• jdiff

  They're still on GitHub. This isn't any sort of official transition. It's just now also on this other ATProto-based forge.

  • lavela

    today at 6:40 PM

    So I assume you know that tangled being ATProto-based was the reason for going there?

    And please explain how it's not a choice when they are still on GitHub.

    • jdiff

      today at 9:29 PM

      No, Tangled's ATProto relationship and its social features are just the only differentiating factors.

      They mirrored their repo somewhere else. An additional location does not make it less friendly.

• shimman

  We all know why... as a condition of some monetary support. It does give a sour taste, really shows what core values are: money > community. I'll just focus on using elixir for a project instead.

    I wish! Alas, the Gleam project continues to be under-funded and we have not got a single penny from any venture capital company.

  • lavela

    today at 8:44 PM

    No I don't know this. Do you have any source for that?

I just tried out tangled for the first time and unfortunately it seems buggy beyond being actually usable. I created a repo but can't look at it because I get a 404 for it. The login was quite painful as well as I needed several attempts to enter my atproto handle (copy-pasted every time, so no typo). But I'm glad more people are working on git hosting options.

• embedding-shape

  today at 5:05 PM

  > I created a repo but can't look at it because I get a 404 for it.

  I remember back in early GitHub days this used to happen too, as the repository was asynchronously created but the redirect was immediate, then after a few seconds you refreshed the page and it was there. At one point they added the interstitial that I think is still there, that basically does the "waiting then redirect" for you.

  • LukaD

    today at 5:27 PM

    Oh yes, seems like that's it. I can now view the repo. A bit annoying when creating a repo redirects you to a URL that will give you a 404 initially (and at least for minute or so, that's how long I tried).

For some context (which people seem to be wanting): Gleam is an interestinf language that is very tight and small. I met the folks from Gleam at the recent Ubuntu Summit and was struck by the talk they gave which made the point (about the design philosophy of staying small and careful creation) excellently. It's very watchable, and Giacomo later explained (when I asked) that he'd hand-animated every transition. Which re-struck me as a doubly good way to reinforce the point of the talk, which was itself small and carefully created.

https://youtu.be/E6_JqYMeNqs

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/gleam-and-the-value-of-small/...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleam_(programming_language)

I have no idea what Gleam or Tangled is, so for me this headline might as well be an article from The Onion satirizing HN. I also refuse to believe any of these two things are large enough, like say Postgres, that one can claim everyone should know it. Surely writing an informative headline for ”hackers in general” can’t be that difficult.

if anyone has more info on tangled would love to hear. been looking for a decentralized git provider for a while. started self hosting but was missing the social element

• Arubis

  today at 4:08 PM

  [Radicle](https://radicle.dev/) gets a wee bit closer. It’s selfhostable and federated. You’ll have a hard time finding something with the same social gravity well as GitHub; it remains to be seen whether that’s a separable element or if it needs to ship as part of the forge itself.

  • theptip

    today at 5:02 PM

    I’ve been testing Radicle and it’s more focused on the distributed protocol for federating git repos, I.e. the data plane. The social / coordination control-plane angle is really thin, following users and repos goes by opaque IDs, etc.

    It could be a better solution for agents that don’t bounce off such mundane complexity. It could be better for private repo federation (eg private collective or agent swarm.)

    I’m interested in Tangled for the OSS/community aspect, it seems to have an advantage there with the richer identity layer for humans.

    • jeremyjh

      today at 5:43 PM

      Issue and PR content are not social artifacts, they belong in the repo or at least its hosting instance. Likes and activity feed are the sort of thing that belongs in the social layer.

      • blackqueeriroh

        today at 9:58 PM

        Issues and PR content are absolutely social artifacts, as they communicate information to others, whether opened by the repo owner or not. In fact, other people can interact with them, and are supposed to do so, which makes them even more inherently social.

        • jeremyjh

          today at 10:50 PM

          The more important thing about issues & PRs is that they explain why the code is the way that it is. Knowing why the code is the way it is, is almost the entire reason we have a repository to begin with. They belong to the code, not some social graph.

          Yes, code is largely about communication as well - with others as well as our future selves. That doesn’t mean it’s a social media experience. There are lots of ways to communicate that aren’t that.

  • Certhas

    today at 6:21 PM

    Can I interact with and discover any federated instance without having to know it exists?

    My experience with Bluesky Vs Mastodon really showed that the friction of federation in the latter can really kill the experience for me. I think we need something like Signal is to WhatsApp but for GitHub and my impression is that the ATProto world is the only one with the potential to deliver this.

  • jeremyjh

    today at 4:47 PM

    This looks like a much more sensible design for code repos: all the artifacts live in the repo.

• vixalien

  today at 4:03 PM

  I think it's currently non-selfhostable. You can host your own git server (knot) and CI runner (spindle) but not really the UI/API itself, but they're working on changing it. Currently it's a bit centralised

  • nerdypepper

    today at 4:11 PM

    GitHub's moat is not code hosting, they will need to build out the equivalent of Actions and figure out what private repos look like. Unclear how they intend to IAP with corporate identity systems, I have a hard time seeing ATProto break into that category.

    • dgellow

      today at 4:32 PM

      Oh they raised a pretty large seed. But they don’t seem to have a business model, or at least I cannot find details on how they plan to make an actual business

      • OneDeuxTriSeiGo

        today at 4:47 PM

        I'm not sure what's been published but as someone who plays with tangled as a hobby the immediate monetisation paths I could see are:

        - Charging to bypass the (admittedly very reasonable) rate limits on the main appview

        - Providing paid hosting tiers for private git knots, high traffic git knots, git LOP knots, CI runners/spindles, web page hosting (via their github pages equivalent), etc

        - Introducing a paid-for and permissioned nix binary cache platform since their CI spindle system is already nix-first.

        - providing paid PDS hosting for corporate/business customers with SSO integration etc.

        - SLAs and support contracts

        There's enough options here that they have a pretty flexible path towards profitability.

        • dgellow

          today at 7:04 PM

          There are always options, I’m interested to know what their actual plan is. Given that seed investment and who the investors are I would be worried they would try to extract value from people code by training on it

    • p-e-w

      today at 4:23 PM

      > GitHub's moat is not code hosting

      Of course not, it’s the number of people who are already signed up.

      Instagram’s moat also most certainly isn’t a scrollable photo timeline.

      • verdverm

        today at 4:32 PM

        There's more to it than the number of people.

        Actions, GitHub apps/external integrations, identity/permission management

        The most significant, near-term, non-moaty gap is still private repos, which isn't all that big of a feature on the surface, but will have major work under the surface because of how bluesky is designing private spaces.

        I also think being primarily nix/jj focussed turns a lot of people away. Those techs are not my cup of tea, so I don't see myself using tangled.

        I'd be curious to hear tangled's thoughts on the path to financial sustainability. Without something that sounds plausible, I'm unwilling to migrate my code forge, for risk of going away / obsolescence.

        • arikrahman

          today at 4:47 PM

          I see it attracting more people than it dissuades. You can use jj as just a prefix for Git commands like jj git init. Yet you get supercharged repo navigation abilities. If obscelecene is your concern, jujutsu is VCS agnostic and doesn't have to use Git in the future.

          Nix is as simple as it gets, even better than docker. Just 'nix run' whatever flake file someone gives you and everything works magically.

          This codeforge going away can't happen for me because I self-host it.

I'm willing to give Tangled a go too with a project, but feature set to bridge the gap still has a long way to go (no idea how long it'll take). Github outages (especially when just viewing repos!) are getting way too disrupting.

        yep, I host two separate Tangled knots; one for my personal use and another for work at the Cambridge Computer Science department. Having large git repos on a server near me is great, and because I can sync the bare git repos it’s easy to run a local forge as well.

  Edit: yes I see the URL is Tangled... But that is a very subtle cue that I didn't notice until the third time I clicked through to see if the landing page really said nothing about Tangled.

How does tangled compare with codeberg? Seem like a cool project, wonder how the migration story is.

• bpev

  today at 4:09 PM

  I use both. Tangled is missing some important features (private repos, protected branches). The ui feels more comfy to me, though. And Codeberg is quite slow for me.

  Idk if I can give you toooo much about migration, since I haven't used any CICD kind of stuff; just having repos to push to is super simple if you use their hosted knots. Also not too complicated to host a knot yourself; I'm hosting my own knot, and I like that I own at least one of the servers that I'm pushing code to.

Picture this: someone “moderates” your bluesky account for some unrelated reason and you’re no longer able to manage your own source codes…

• nerdypepper

  today at 11:29 PM

  this is simply false: bluesky moderating your account will have no effect on what happens with it on tangled. on the off-chance that your account is hosted by bluesky's PDS AND your account gets deleted for violating their terms, yes, you will lose complete access to that account. you can avoid this by either following their TOS or hosting your own PDS or joining the tangled PDS instead.

• blackqueeriroh

  today at 10:16 PM

  Depends on the type of moderation. Most moderation, which happens via labels on Bluesky, doesn’t prevent you from logging into your account. That would require a full suspension or ban, which is much rarer. And, as others have noted, you could just move to a different PDS. You don’t even have to self-host!

      This is incorrect. You don’t have to host your own tangled appvew to log into tangled without having your atproto account on Bluesky’s PDSes.

    GitHub - sensible folks have more than one account with access to critical bits. The really important things are probably mirrored.

The linked page creates more questions than it answers. Do we need to disentangle this?

Flink has acquired Cajoo

Wish a git forge would support both Actions and Gitlab CI pipelines. Reuse community workflows for simple actions, default to Gitlab CI for anything custom.

  the way the CI runners on tangled work, you could just plug in your own bespoke runner as long as it fits the interface. we implement two such "engines": nixery and microvm. you can plug an engine like tack[0], which can act like a bridge interface to other CI systems. there is also loom[1], which is a kubernetes based engine.

    The problem is that interface isn't enough when in Gitlab the CI natively integrates with other systems, like test reports displaying results in merge requests. This would certainly enable hybrid pipelines through.

Github is fine. I know it has issues, but for the day to day random OS gig it has never failed me.

  Project's still on Github, it hasn't migrated or anything.

As someone who has no idea what either of these things are, this reads like a satirical headline. I get an email like this about my company's myriad platforms nearly daily

  Congratulations! You’re an adult on a website. If you do t know what something means, you have the ability to click the link and learn, which would’ve taken you far less time than this pointless snarky comment that’s been made so many times already.

  At least try being original.

How are folks doing CI on tangled?

      lol, true! Even for a single side project, that probably no one is gonna use, I often struggle for hours while choosing a name, meanwhile these folks...

        Reminds me of this as well https://github.com/gsaslis/greek-names-in-software :)

        Axios, Argo (CD), Kubernetes, Prometheus are all greek names

If you too are wondering their CI story, it is based on NixOS:

  Not sure how good of a social protocol it is, but I see ATProto/PDS as a possible succesor to solid [1], if they implment the permissioned data access model correctly. Which would certainly have a lot of good usecases, beyond social apps.

  Wow I had no idea, thank you for your well-reasoned critique! I can tell you're very capable of evaluating the merits of complex socio-technological systems. Your wisdom is unparalleled; now I see we all should just keep using X and GitHub.

    GP just created an account to shitpost about ATProto out of desperation, what else can we expect from them. look at the username and account age, XD

  I agree (with caveats and not as strongly), but claiming no utility is a bit much.

    > They reinvented a worse Twitter (it failed)

    Bluesky has 9-11x times the number of total users as Twitter did three years after its launch. It has somewhere between 15-20x the number of MAUs as Twitter had. It has not failed even a little bit.

    > Now they're trying to reinvent a worse GitHub (not off to a great start)

    You seem to think this is the same group of people who started Bluesky. You’re wrong. Not only that, you’ve failed to name how Tangled is a worse Github when the burden of proof is on you.

    > Abandon AT proto - dumb idea, all empty ego on the part of the creators, no utility for the masses

    Curious that the number of atproto accounts and users only seems to be growing, because that’s not what I’d expect if there was no utility for the masses.

"federation" has a certain stink to it, I regret creating an account just now. I didn't realize it was that type of website.
