I proposed this project to improve on Radicle's p2p model by using Tor for universal, straightforward seeding of git repos.
Original discussion thread - https://bounties.monero.social/posts/207/
One of the project's git repos linked in that thread - https://radicle.network/nodes/iris.radicle.network/rad:z2ydYmUCJvDfNFTVTpEbQmm55EPt1/history
Project website - https://cradicle.xyz/
The dev who took the project also expanded it into a project to reimplement Radicle in C.
Since I'm not a coder and I don't have any git repos of my own, I can only test from the viewpoint of an average layman using the GUI app to seed repos.
It's impossible for me to properly gauge how the project is progressing without engagement from coders who try using it for their git repos.
If the project doesn't currently interest you, your suggestions on how to start getting users on board would also be welcome.
Edit - bear in mind that because decentralized discussion platforms like this are currently quite broken, there are comments showing up in the thread when I'm not signed in that don't show up for me when I'm signed in. Here's a screenshot of all the comments showing up for me right now where I'm signed in and able to reply, as of UNIX time 1779670288
I'd encourage discussion of this project moreso on nostr (equally broken but my preferred platform) or the discussion thread linked above (seemingly more functional)
Is Tor really "straightforward"? It sounds anything but.
Also C? In 2026? Radicle seems to be written mostly in Rust, with Typescript for the web interface. Why on earth would you want to downgrade to C?
That isn't really any more secure.
Not in a good way - more like a "oh good what compiler flags do I need to mess with to make this code work?" way 😄
Reasonable. C is still a poor choice though.
It is when javascript vulnerabilities are exploited, that's why Tor Browser's "safest" preset doesn't allow js
Ah you're expecting users to browse with no JS enabled. Does Radicle's web interface actually require JS anyway? And either way that's no reason to pick C over Typescript.
I don't remember the exact extent or know if it's changed, but Radicle's web interface definitely used javascript excessively at the time I posted the original proposal.
It sounds like I was confused about Typescript, I thought it was more closely related to js
Typescript is JavaScript, just with static type annotations.
