like clockwork! right now on the frontpage:

The federated code forge (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50305573)

self-hosting the appview was a bit trickier back then, but we have worked towards making that trivial. it now runs entirely in-memory, and is completely stateless (rebuilds the state of the network from scratch each time).

https://tangled.org/docs/self-hosting/indexer/

we have also stabilized lexicons, so if you are a selfhoster, you can expect to not require a breaking upgrade!

selfhosted knots default to sha256.

already exists :)

its undocumented at the moment but you push over https as well.

somebody has set up a git credential helper here: https://tangled.org/pds.dad/tangled-core/blob/feature%2Fgit-...

we have already got a working demo of private repositories that works very similarly to atproto spaces alpha, but without requiring spaces to be stabilized, we will have something to show off in the next couple weeks :)

> I really had no backup plans for something like a Neovim plugin's source forge being down

this problem could exist with any package manager, the go package manager is one example, where it allows specifying packages from any git url. we host a mirror of all git repositories on our infra, and serve that when the backing knot is down. you could choose to trust that and pull from there (verifying that the tarball has a known correct hash), the way the go package manager pulls from proxy.golang.org.

for collaboration policies: its already part of the protocol, just needs to be baked into the flagship client!

private repos are coming very soon, we have a working demo of private repositories.

don't need to signup for bsky to try out Tangled however, you can directly just signup for an account with Tangled.

all they would need is an atproto account. you can get one of these on Tangled itself, or bring your own. they can then open issues on your repository.

soon, repos will be able to declare a contribution policy: presently its open to all (anybody can open an issue), but owners can choose to limit this to just contributors for example.

input.djr.com, haven't used a different font in many years!

https://tangled.org/astrra.space/ds4-recipe is an incredibly cool writeup on making deepseek v4.1 flash run really fast.

servo is incredibly cool. super easy API to embed, and to build browsers around it.

is there a way to browse a repository on origin without a cursor account? are all repos private? how is this a github alternative if so?

we need to break free from monocultures: https://blog.tangled.org/federation/

ultimately, folks need to stop writing massive YAML files to define their builds. CI should schedule jobs, your build system should define them. my workflow files look like this:

      steps:
          name: Do the thing
           run: nix build .#

at any point, if my CI is down or i need to switch or i need to run builds locally, i can do so trivially.

tangled.org!

tangled supports selfhosted CI runners using NixOS microvms: https://blog.tangled.org/spindle-microvm/

selfhosted runners do not go down when our CI is down, its operates separately.
