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 🧵

Extremely useful to chat about #GitHub painpoints ahead of the #Radicle demo at the amazing(!!!) #SoCraTes Conference in Germany last weekend. If you were there (or even if not!) and still need help onboarding, please feel free to drop me a line! ;)
A flipchart capturing discussion points:

- data sovereignty,
- GH outages,
- relative lack of innovation,
- self-hosting pains,
- GHActions as the vendor lock-in,
- fighting the AI scrapers

Could I ask for a clarification here? > ATProto can be the base for data Are you referring to some specific protocol feature / detail here? We've heard other folks mention they'd like to use their #bluesky identity (or link it to their #radicle identity). Is that perhaps what you're referring to?

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.

Yorgos @yorgos.net.gr · 24/08/2026
Yes, this is work-in-progress. It'd be great to hear some of the other things as well, if you have a list, to make sure we're at least tracking them and can make the onboarding journey a little easier for future users. 🙏

In just two days since the notorious Bitchat takedown from GitHub, the repo has already been mirrored to the peer-to-peer #Radicle network and risen among the top seeded repositories. In fact it's the second most seeded community repo. That's exactly what @radicle was made for.
