People love Tailscale, and passkeys are relatively new, so a major authentication improvement for a well-loved service that is based on a new authentication mechanism not lots of companies support yet is … interesting. I think it’s as simple as that.
- silisili 3y agoI think it's 99% just the former. I've seen a blog post describing a very elementary better way of storing IP addresses upvoted and praised. I've seen people agree and fawn over the idea they were using a flat JSON file everywhere initially. Then they somehow discovered a 20 year old DB, and some people treat it like the second coming of Christ. None of this is to insult Tailscale, or their works, or their blogs. People love it and it's obviously a nice product. The fandom here around them and what gets upvoted and praised just seems cultlike at times.
- borski 3y agoI dno; people used to say that about Dropbox in the early days. Clearly people like what Tailscale is doing, and find it interesting. The upvotes are about what’s interesting to the community, so seems fine and not cult-like to me.
