Tangled provides a self‑hosted, federated social coding platform that lets developers own their code and collaborate across any server using the AT Protocol. It supports pull‑requests, bug reports, and integrated CI pipelines that can be accessed via SSH, all under an open‑source license. The platform aims to make code review and community governance simple, fun, and fully customizable.

Problem
Developers using traditional centralized code hosting services often surrender ownership of their repositories and are constrained by platform-specific governance, limiting collaboration across different servers. Additionally, integrating continuous integration (CI) workflows typically requires separate tools, creating friction in the development process.
Solution
Tangled offers a federated social coding platform built on the AT Protocol that returns full ownership of code to developers while enabling collaboration across any server. By supporting pull‑requests and bug reports to repositories hosted anywhere, it removes the siloed nature of existing services. Repositories are completely self‑hostable, and the platform includes built‑in CI that can be inspected and managed directly over SSH, streamlining the test and deployment pipeline. Users can authenticate with existing AT Protocol accounts, such as Bluesky, simplifying onboarding. As an open‑source project, Tangled encourages community contributions to continuously improve the platform.
Target Audience
Primary users are individual developers, open‑source maintainers, and software teams that prioritize code ownership, self‑governance, and integrated CI within a collaborative environment.
