Radicle 1.3.0
radicle.xyzAnyone using radicle for a project with external contributors?
I've tried it with some of my projects and it seems promising, but I wonder what it'd be like to use it on one of my more successful projects.
Hm, I thought Radicle does not have a way to create a private repository. E.g. your repository, code, and issues are always publicly visible.
This isn't true. You can setup private repos. Here are the docs.

Love the relaxation of git-specific guardrails to make jj workflows better.
Definitely an interesting project. But what’s actually going to push adoption for P2P/decentralized platforms like this?
The change in GitHub leadership at Microsoft for starters.
What radicle should be concentrating on is becoming a namespaced p2p crates.io alternative. Rust has a Microsoft dependency.
"We made an effort to start paving some of the way to being able to use Radicle on Windows. The first step was taken for this, and you can now use the rad CLI on a Windows machine – without WSL."
This was a long-missing piece, and it’s great to finally be closing that gap.
Are there any differences from git, or tbh is there a project I can maybe contribute to on Radicle and learn from experience?
Can pitch in with helping out Windows support
It's "just" git, but you push to a special remote which will synchronize your repo on a p2p network.
There's also a CLI for issues and pr's, which also get's stored in your git repo.
Additional features that would make me consider switching:
- jujitsu support
- IDE plugins
- code-base CI
P2P VCS doesn't cut it for me.
- Radicle uses "extended" git repository format, so JuJitsu should work the same as it works now with git

What sort of IDE plugin are you thinking of? As long as you have a git plugin it should work just fine (if you're thinking of something similar to github/gitlab plugins then I don't think there are any, but I'm not sure what those buy you).
It's possible to setup CI: https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/ash.radicle.garden/rad%3AzwTxy...
