We're excited to kick off the first ever issue of our 20 20 + newsletter. We haven't settled on a cutesy name for it yet -- 21 21 + "untangled"? Or simply "tangled weekly"? Let us know! 22 22 + 23 23 + If you're new here (how'd you end up on our list?!), Tangled is a new 24 24 + social coding platform. You can host Git repositories, collaborate with 25 25 + friends, and self-host your git remotes 26 26 + ([knots](https://docs.tangled.org/knot-self-hosting-guide.html)) and CI 27 27 + runners (spindles). We recently raised €3,8M ($4.5M) in [seed 28 28 + financing](/seed) and have been heads-down building. 29 29 + 30 30 + With that out of the way, here's what we shipped recently. 31 31 + 32 32 + ## Repository search is live 33 33 + 34 34 +  36 36 + 37 37 + We finally have it. You can now search for your favourite slopware at 38 38 + [tangled.org/search](https://tangled.org/search) (or from the 🔍 icon in 39 39 + the top nav). 40 40 + 41 41 + ## Fresh new OpenGraph images 42 42 + 43 43 +  44 44 + 45 45 + [Étienne](https://tangled.org/eti.tf) helped us ship `ogre` -- the new 46 46 + OpenGraph Rendering Engine. It's what's behind our lovely link previews 47 47 + that you may have seen elsewhere already. 48 48 + 49 49 + ## PR review improvements 50 50 + 51 51 +  52 52 + 53 53 + [Lewis](https://tangled.org/oyster.cafe), our most recent addition to 54 54 + the team (based out of Helsinki!), shipped these handy PR review 55 55 + improvements! You can multi-line select to reference relevant code in 56 56 + review comments, and mark files that you've already looked at as 57 57 + "reviewed". Nifty! 58 58 + 59 59 + ## knotmirror and other planned features 60 60 + 61 61 + [Seongmin](https://tangled.org/boltless.me), our engineer from South 62 62 + Korea 🇰🇷, built our new repository indexer service: knotmirror. 63 63 + 64 64 + Knotmirror is our first of many performance optimizations for repo 65 65 + viewing & fetching on tangled. It attempts to fetch and index all known 66 66 + git repos across knots, allowing the appview (the main service at 67 67 + tangled.org) to serve repos much faster, regardless of where your knot 68 68 + lives! 69 69 + 70 70 + Up next, we're working hard towards: 71 71 + 72 72 + * First implementation of **VM-based CI** to enable more advanced 73 73 + workflows. This will be a new spindle engine likely backed by QEMU. At 74 74 + least initially. We'll let you know when we ship it! 75 75 + * **Vouching**: Tangled aims to be foundational infrastructure for the 76 76 + future of open source dev -- and having first-class tooling for the 77 77 + slopocalypse is paramount. The web-of-trust model has proven to be 78 78 + rather powerful here and that's coming to Tangled very soon. 79 79 + * Fully achieve full **AT Protocol compliance**. One of our internal 80 80 + goals is to have a Tangled appview that anyone can run, with complete 81 81 + backfill and ingestion -- dubbed the "ephemeral appview". We're not quite 82 82 + there yet: repos are the tough part. We recently swapped to using DIDs 83 83 + to identify repos, which gets us one step closer to being able to 84 84 + rename them, transfer them between knots, and finally ingest them 85 85 + through the firehose. 86 86 + 87 87 + That's all for now! We'd love to hear your thoughts on this newsletter 88 88 + -- you can reply to this email or join our 89 89 + [Discord](https://chat.tangled.org) to let us know. We'll also publish 90 90 + this on our blog for those that prefer RSS. 91 91 + 92 92 + -- Anirudh
