I'm impressed and I see potential on this one. I tried different ones over time but most fail at on-boarding. This was seamless and really easy. In about 2 minutes I successfully shared my project and followed known projects. This means this mvp works and it let me craving for more, I want to use this! I want issues and PR support to prove this can effectively work as a github replacement to me.

Now, the downside of this mvp is that there is no project discovery in the client itself. We need to go search for projects in a browser, in this page http://seedling.radicle.xyz/ which is a bit confusing. Considering the client itself is electron, it could at least, open this page for us somewhere. Or, we could at least have a less "noisy" seedling page focused on search and I would not even know it wasn't part of the client itself.

Overall, awesome project. I really hope it will grow and add the missing essential features. If I could vote, with priority these would be:

- project discovery integrated in the client - issues support - pr support - multiple identities

Anyway, great job!

Thanks for the feedback! The priorities you mention are very close to our own, and we have already started working on some of them. We will definitely be integrating discovery more closely into the app in the long run.

Recently I started a personal project to enable storing issues in the git repository itself. Then I discovered git-bug which, though lacking a good UI, has the data formats nailed almost perfectly in my opinion.

I highly recommend considering using git-bug natively for Radicle's issue tracking system. It seems perfect for the task.

We are evaluating this!

I know about these two, which are made in Rust:

- https://github.com/sit-fyi/issue-tracking

- https://github.com/neithernut/git-dit

Not sure about their activity/status, but they both tried to solve this problem, they may help to widen your evaluations.

hm, that is interesting, the fact that projects are public and advertised by default was not clear to me while going through the onboarding.

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.

I was very interested but unfortunately my experience was quite opposite. I launched the app image on Pop_OS but couldn't sign up no matter which user name i chose (even resorted to random strings) - finally just gave up.

If you find yourself stuck, you can reach the team through one of the many channels: https://docs.radicle.xyz/docs/using-radicle/join-the-communi...

Or you can file an issue on the app repo directly over here: https://github.com/radicle-dev/radicle-upstream/issues/new

Oh wow. This seedling website needs to be suggested as the next step after creating your device id, etc.
