We made deliberate, +[future-facing technology](https://anirudh.fi/future) choices. We chose +to build on top of the AT Protocol as it helped us realize a federated, +open network where users can own their code and social data. We shipped +stacked PRs to enable more efficient contribution and review workflows. +What started off as a side project, grew to over 7k+ users, who've +created over 5k+ repositories. + +Our vision for Tangled has always been big: we want to build the best +code forge ever, and become foundational infrastructure for the next +generation of open source. Whatever that looks like: hundreds of devs +building artisanal libraries, or one dev and a hundred agents building a +micro-SaaS. + +And finding the right investors to help us acheive this vision wasn't +something we took lightly. We spent months getting to know potential +partners -- among which, byFounders stood out immediately. Like us, +they're community-driven at their core, and their commitment to +transparency runs deep -- you can see the very term sheet we signed on +their website! With these shared fundamental values, we knew byFounders +were the right people to have in our corner and we're incredibly excited +to work with them. + +## what's next + +We're heads down building. For 2026, expect to see: + +* a fully revamped CI (spindle v2!) built on micro VMs to allow for + faster builds and more choice of build environments. Oh, and a proper + Nix CI -- we know you want it. +* protocol-level improvements across the board that'll unlock nifty + things like repo migrations across knots, organizations, and more! +* a customizable "mission control" dashboard for your active PRs, + issues, and anything else you might want to track. +* a migration tool to help you move off GitHub +* all things search: code search, repo search, etc. +* platform and infrastructure performance improvements & more global +presence +* Tangled CLI! + +If all this sounds exciting to you: we're growing our team! Shoot us +[an email](mailto:team@tangled.org) telling us a bit about yourself and +any past work that might be relevant, and what part of the roadmap +interests you most. We can hire from (almost) anywhere. + +New to Tangled? [Get started here](https://docs.tangled.org/). Oh, and +come hang on [Discord](https://chat.tangled.org)! + +A sincere thank you to everyone that helped us get here -- we're giddy +about what's to come. -- 2.51.2
