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

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

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

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

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

        How would they rugpull your own self hosted infra ? And the server architecture that runs on ATProto ? (And so your own server and bluesky's servers and Blacksky's servers and so on). You can self host every part of ATProto with relative difficulty (PDS, where your data is, is the easiest)

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

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 https://tangled.org/tranquil.farm/tranquil-pds https://docs.tangled.org/knot-self-hosting-guide https://docs.tangled.org/knot-self-hosting-guide https://docs.tangled.org/spindles#self-hosting-guide https://docs.tangled.org/spindles#self-hosting-guide edit: TIL HN doesn't support markdown, why does this surprise me every time.

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