Tangled is the next-generation social coding platform. We offer git repository hosting, stacked PRs, Nix-based CI and more. We just raised our €3.8M ($4.5M) seed round[0] to build foundational infrastructure for the future of open source.
Some of the things we're working on:
* a fully revamped CI (spindle v2!) built on micro VMs to allow for faster builds and more choice of build environments
* protocol-level improvements across the board that’ll unlock nifty things like repo migrations across knots, organizations, and more!
* a customizable “mission control” dashboard for your active PRs, issues, and anything else you might want to track
* a migration tool to help you move off GitHub
* all things search: code search, repo search, etc.
* platform and infrastructure performance improvements & more global presence
* Tangled CLI!
We're prioritizing hiring for CI infrastructure, so strong distributed systems experience, Go, Firecracker/virtualization, etc. are what we're looking for. If this sounds interesting, send us an email to team@!
Tangled founder here; it's just as easy! For example, here's the entire Tangled codebase monorepo: https://tangled.org/tangled.org/core — you can clone this directly as you would a git repo anywhere else.
New user sign up is a bit wonky. It asked for an email, login and password, then it's asking for a bsky sign-in too? This seems a little weird.
(Minor nit: for some reason, Google didn't auto-suggest a strong password for the password field.)
Then I got to the screen where it asks for full read-write access to my PDS and stopped there. It's kind of a lot to ask! I believe this is Bluesky's fault, but I don't think I can really use third-party bluesky apps until they implement finer-grained permissions.
AT being backed by VC is false—it's Bluesky the company that is. AT is merely a spec for signing, storing and propagating structured data (records) + the identity that owns said records.
Not really. It's very open for everyone to participate. Further, Bluesky has been working on standardizing AT at the IETF [0][1]. They have also made a patent non-agression pledge: https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-01-2025-patent-pledge
In short, they're actively working on making AT as neutral as possible.
We have already talked about this. In the end it comes down the index for the instances that bsky maintain it will inevitably be the dominate ones vs others who run AT Pro.
It would be all good if the index is shared via DHT, bittorrent, ips or other means. Same goes for the google search index, etc.
