Fantastic post indeed. Had a read and this has been an incredibly succinct outline of how our system works. Thanks for taking the time and sharing it.

There is a webview for discovery, you can find it over here: http://seedling.radicle.xyz/

There is a lot more we want to do for discovery, in this release we focused on replication of git based projects.

That's absolutely possible. Everyone is empowered and encouraged to run their own seed nodes. Which would allow you to have an isolated network. Check the docs to find out how to run your own: https://docs.radicle.xyz/docs/using-radicle/running-a-seed-n...

This comment is spot on, people who jump to the conversation with the argument that Git is already decentralised don't understand where the most value is captured when it comes to collaboration. It's the social artifact, issues, PRs, etc. And the cost of migrating the community of a project/organisation and their social artifacts is a massive cost, carrying the risk of splitting the community and or stifling any other progress to stay relevant.

Thanks for flagging that, definitely something we are looking to improve in making it clear but also in how much control the user has over that.

This is really helpful feedback. Especially the part about not getting enough feedback during operations. And yes social features like issues and PRs have not been the focus in this release, as we focused on replication. If you are looking for more help you can join the community matrix and we take it from there: https://docs.radicle.xyz/docs/using-radicle/join-the-communi...

The reason you can push/pull works offline is that the database of radicle lives on your machine. Once you are online it will gossip with other peers to exchange updates of projects. This means that your workflow stays the same no matter connectivity and eventual the network convergences to communicate all relevant data. If you are interested in the details check out the docs: https://docs.radicle.xyz/docs/understanding-radicle/why-radi...

For now the focus is on public collaboration on public projects. Features for private/encrypted repos are definitely on the roadmap.

Important to note that "Free" here doesn't refer to "for free". You rpoint about funding of popular projects was at the heart of radicle from the beginning. We believe that FOSS as backbone of the digital infrastructure needs to be sustainable, which includes the resources/funds to maintain it and keep it free and open.
