I have never heard of tangle before - are many people using it? What are peoples opinions of it?by tajd

I'm playing around with it. I self-hosted the Tranquil PDS (personal data server, part of AT Proto), a knot (git repositories), and a spindle (CI runner) on my home server. It was all relatively easy to set up but even in the week that I was bringing it up I found bugs and then saw those bugs get fixed so they're earning the "alpha" badge on their website. I'm not using it for anything load bearing yet but I like the idea at a high-level, though it remains to be seen how well code hosting fits into the AT Proto model.https://tangled.org/tranquil.farm/tranquil-pds

edit: TIL HN doesn't support markdown, why does this surprise me every time.

It's quite a cool technical concept, and I really like their design sensibility, but don't know anybody using it "in prod".by crimsoneer

It's also VC backed so you know it'll turn bad sometime in the future.by satvikpendem

It's also fully open source and you can self-host your data while interacting with everyone else like it's GitHubby LelouBil

Until they rugpull, like many VC backed OSS projects over the years, I imagine.by satvikpendem

Aww, I thought this might be a literate programming wrapper around grotesque yaml action programming...by e12e

It’s an attempt to shove AT Proto - which no one wants - into everythingby sausagefest
