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

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.

edit: TIL HN doesn't support markdown, why does this surprise me every time.

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

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.
