@norman.life built ATFISL — a download-location lexicon for AT Protocol keyed by file CID. Multiple URL schemes per file, per-URL expiry, content-addressed identity. Complements FISL, a query interface for aggregating locations across the network. Feedback welcome.

FISL & ATFISL — Finding Internet Structures & Links

A CID proves what the bytes are. FISL is an HTTP lookup that answers where to get them, and ATFISL publishes the answers on AT Protocol.

FISL, from @norman.life, is an HTTP lookup API that maps CIDs to locations. A client sends a CID and receives the URLs at which the content can be retrieved, together with the identity of the publisher that announced them, when it is known. Check it out! dasl.ing/fisl.html

The main difference between @radicle.dev and @tangled.org is that radicle stores all social artifacts, like issues, patches, and interactions in the git repository, while tangled stores them in your atproto repository In both user actions are signed by a key but in radicle the key is user-owned 🧵

Hey @tangled.org Do you have any docs on the recommended workflows for creating pull requests? For example, I opened a pull request and then rebased and pushed again and it created a new pull request. I may have done this wrong, but it'd be nice to have clarity on how rounds and rebased PR work 🙌

Must read for those curious about GitHub alternatives, like @radicle.dev and @tangled.org and how they embrace local-first workflows. Exciting to see the Zig community embrace @radicle.dev!

One issue is that Tangled doesn’t seem focused on local-first workflows, meaning that it doesn’t have a way to download Issues in order to view and manage them while offline. It would definitely be possible to implement this, given how atproto works, although it would be less elegant than Radicle’s solution where Issues and PRs are stored in the repository itself, meaning that one pull is enough to get everything at once.

A bigger reason why Radicle is better suited, is that Tangled is federated, while Radicle is p2p. The difference between these two approaches is sometimes hard to see, but here’s an aspect that makes it pretty clear: looking at Issues.

On Radicle there is no authoritative view of what “the Issues” of one repository look like. It all depends on your seeding policy. If you decide to seed all “forks”, then you will see all Issues that exist on the network, but you could also choose a more restrictive policy, where you only seed “forks” from a short list of authors that you follow. In this second case you wouldn’t have to worry about spam because even if a malicious user somewhere is creating spam Issues, those would never reach you (and if you were to choose the ‘seed all’ policy, you would still be able to ban them).

Most importantly, this is a choice made per-node. Each Radicle user can choose for themselves what they want to see.
