Hey HN, co-founder of Tangled here!

We recently shipped a change to switch out our OAuth library—which introduced a regression, preventing new users from being added to the default knot and spindle (the git hosting server & CI runner). We just discovered this and pushed a fix—please log out and log back in again and you should be able to create repositories!

Otherwise, happy to answer any questions!

First Question: is it possible to change your handle or delete your account on the tngl.sh PDS instance?

Second Question: how much resource does creating and hosting a new AppView entail? For example let's say I make an appview that's essentially the PDS-hosted equivalent of Cloudflare Pages, where a user upload a folder of a static website and the appview just forwards it verbatim at a hypothetical https://atprotocities.org/@cool.guy/... , would you need to bear the brunt of the traffic cost as an AppView host?

Cool product! Knowing a little bit of AT protocol, I can assume that the expression you used, “social-enabled”, is related to that. Does Tangled have plans for more social features or social-enabled simply means AT protocol?

  • We definitely want to be very social-first down the line! Our focus at present is to nail the core features first, however. The vision is to build Tangled to be a indie/community-focused code forge.
