I use both. Tangled is missing some important features (private repos, protected branches). The ui feels more comfy to me, though. And Codeberg is quite slow for me.

Idk if I can give you toooo much about migration, since I haven't used any CICD kind of stuff; just having repos to push to is super simple if you use their hosted knots. Also not too complicated to host a knot yourself; I'm hosting my own knot, and I like that I own at least one of the servers that I'm pushing code to.

Tangled is also VC funded, something to consider.
It doesn't really matter, you can host your own knot (git backend), spindle (CI/CD worker), and there are already alternative apps to access the same public, consumable records without centralized infra: https://untangled.wisp.place/
It matters a lot. As seen with GitLab and countless other projects.
The assumption here is that there's lock-in. But there is no lock-in. Architecturally, all of the data is controlled by you and available for any other tool to ingest. This is a crucial difference between ATproto apps and other modern web services.
I mean, it really just doesn’t here. Every part of the Tangled stack is open source, self-hostable, and interoperable. There are already clients that never hit Tangled infra.

If Tangled the company made a decision you didn’t like, you could continue to use the software and keep your social graph, repositories, etc. without them. That’s simply not true with GitLab, it’s a closed ecosystem by instance. Tangled is not that.

I just switched to Tangled. It was actually very similar experience. I will be using Tangled henceforth!
