Took #radicle the peer-to-peer code hosting platform for a spin yesterday... WOW. Just. Plain. Wow!
Everything feels like a fairly natural extension of git itself, for someone reasonably comfortable with git at the commandline.
git push and git fetch and such all behave as one would expect, using a git remote helper.
But also did a great job incorporating patch tracking, which, again, just feels like a special git push or fetch.
Issue tracking also feels similarly familiar.
5 of 5 stars!

The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the possibly overloaded uses of the ssh-agent ... #radicle is not really using it for ssh, as far as I can tell, but just as a general public/private key client interface? I typically use the authentication keys from an opengpg smartcard, and not entirely sure the ssh-agent interface is compatible with using arbitrary ssh keys...
