Radicle

“the sweet spot in federated git hosting could be a system merging the features of tangled with the features of radicle”

“Radicle seems better in that regards, but instead is on top of their own cryptocurrency”

“This is amateur hour, and they are not serious about their purported secure and private platform.”

“Is it embarrassing that their private feature was broken? Sure. But it's for the most part a publishing platform.”

“you should stop and look for someone who does to check your system in the real world before you tell people to depend on it”

“"Your Data, Forever and Secure" in big bold letters on their homepage with total disregard for the truth of that statement”

“If a core feature of your software requires security guarantees you can't just say they don't have a "security team"”

“the fact that this started as Crypto-adjacent should have immediately disqualified them for serious use”

“they were depending on libraries (both by Cyphernet, interestingly) and implicitly trusting them, instead of verifying.”

“How do you not notice that cross-node traffic is not encrypted when building something like this?”

“This whole project reads like amateur hour. Still using curl pipe to shell install and everything.”

“announcement 3 months later is not super great, considering that the current advice is "Stop using private repositories (over the network) until the security update is released."”

“If one node goes down, users can still access the same issues/PRs from another endpoint.”

“Instead of creating one more centralized alternative, it's best to invest all effort into a decentralized solution”

“With Radicle you can continue to work locally with all issues etc intact, even if your main host is down.”

“where they manage issues/prs/user identities as git objects, so your entire project is self contained as git repository”

“is a great descriptive name which instantly conveys a lot of information about what it is and does”

“Maybe it will push more people and more effort into the true decentralization”

“These p2p solutions are more like bittorrent where you can clone as long as someone is seeding”

“provides self-hosting with decentralized mirrors for both added availability and DDoS resistance”

“The social / coordination control-plane angle is really thin, following users and repos goes by opaque IDs, etc.”

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

“Works great. I setup several skills for agent harnesses and they use radicle + jj + git perfectly.”

“There's no structural separation of public / private repositories; this is one bug or fat-finger away from a leak.”

“Radicle is protocol driven, my hope as a contributor is it becomes infrastructure.”

“This is a good fit primarily if you want to run a Radicle node that only seeds repos you tell it to.”

“We should rather host it on a public, peer-to-peer network that everyone can have access to.”

“Another good contender is the Radicle which is completely decentralized on top of the Git.”

“Its pretty much exactly what is being asked for here. The main issue I see is its impossible to search through peoples projects”

“Even if half of these go down, I still have full access to all the repos I follow.”

“Radicle is local-first, so you can create issues and patches (pull requests) even when offline.”

“the main benefit is that everything continues working even though HardenedBSDs official seed is down”

“Radicle is a legit project that has been around for at least 5 years trying to solve a pretty hard problem.”

“issue data is as important as the code so we should treat it with the same care as the code”

“Owned by companies that do not help the US Federal Government illegally spy on their own citizens and murder children overseas”

“which can be used to develop git-based projects (including issues etc) in a distributed manner”

“The pitch is compelling; if the project home page shows that index, I can see a world where this takes the reigns from Github.”

“It also enables others to send patches, without first having to create an account on that Raspberry Pi in your pantry.”

“Every time I read about an emulation or file sharing project kicked off of GitHub, I think: should have used Radicle.”
