Nobody brought up radicle yet? HN what's up?

There you go: fully IPFS based version control and collaboration. https://radicle.xyz

I thought Radicle was cool too, but as I understand it (in its current state), it has a much "larger" SPOF in that changes can only be submitted when the single authoritative repo is online.

how so? If everything is stored in IPSS, then it should always be online. The IPFS daemon is local, so you can commit things without any network connection. Am I misunderstanding what IPFS is?

"Currently the owner of the project must be online in order to receive any proposed RSM updates from a contributor. Once received and processed, these updates will be written to IPFS by the project owner, and made available to all users who follow that project." -- http://radicle.xyz/docs/#faq

What the hell? I get downvoted for linking an authoritative answer to the question I was asked? I'm so god damn sick of participating here in good faith and getting wordlessly crapped on for it. The answer supports exactly what I said, and I provided a link.

Pretty obvious someone didn't like one of my other comments and then proceeded to downvote the others they could since I commented in multiple threads at the same time. Why is this nonsense allowed? It would be easy to detect.

If you are sick of participating, don't, and your problem is solved.

Also, if you've been here long enough to get sick of anything you should have learned that dumb downvotes happen, they mostly get reversed over time, and nothing good comes of reacting to them at all, much less throwing a expletive-laden fit about them.

Such great advice, had never thought of that. Thanks!
