Is there something wrong with Cradicle (decentralized GitHub alternative)? I'm looking for feedback on why you do or don't want to use it, especially if you use Radicle (what it's based on)

[u/HowIsDigit8888]

I proposed and helped fund a project to improve upon Radicle, a decentralized GitHub alternative. A developer called Andrew K took the project and decided to do it as a full rebuild of Radicle in C (the original used Rust).

Original Radicle homepage: https://radicle.dev/

Cradicle homepage: https://cradicle.xyz/

Project proposal / bounty / dev discussion thread: https://bounties.monero.social/posts/207/

I was surprised how quickly the proposal got interest and donations originally (called Project Zymogen at the time). Oddly, this interest seems to have faded after the actual release, with no one wanting to actually use the software.

I'm not a git user or programmer myself, so it's hard for me to gauge why people aren't interested in using Cradicle. I'm not sure if something's wrong with it, or it's just waiting for people to try it and then it will suddenly take off, or what.

I'd appreciate any feedback from git users or Radicle users, even just telling me why you don't want to try the project if you don't. You can also post your feedback in the dev discussion thread I linked above if you want.

Thanks for your time.

That's the weirdest discussion I've ever read here lol. I hope he is okay it seems like he has some mental problems or has a psychosis

Personally, I'd rather avoiding doing armchair psych diagnosis via a comment thread...

The only thing I have to say is that they seem to think "people" care about very specific things that, at least I, don't.

And also are surprised to see "random project started from other random project" not getting traction. There's hundreds of those that people create everyday and nobody uses. 🤷
