The Forge We Deserve

- #Decentralization
- #Open Source
- GitHub is facing stability issues, exponential AI-driven growth, and high-profile project departures, prompting discussions about alternatives.
- Centralization has benefits like seamless integrations, but fragmentation across multiple Git forges could create friction and tooling issues.
- Tangled is proposed as an alternative—a Git forge built on the AT Protocol, allowing self-hosted data storage while aggregating content centrally.
- Tangled offers open-source, forkable software with structural resistance to vendor lock-in, maintaining interoperability via shared schemas (lexicons).
- Tangled is in alpha but usable for open-source work, featuring jujutsu support, stacked PRs, web of trust, and backing from a seed round.
