basic principles is a sovereign
{code forge} Built on Git.
Radical is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. The repository is replicated between peers in a decentralized manner, and users retain full control over their data and workflows.

Your data, forever and safe
All social artifacts are stored in Git, and signed using public-key cryptography. Radical verifies the authenticity and authorship of all data for you.
unique autonomy
Radical enables users to run their own nodes, ensuring censorship-resistant code collaboration and fostering a resilient network without dependency on third parties.
local-first
Radical is local-first, providing always-available functionality even without Internet access. Users own their own data, making migration, backup, and access easy both online and offline.
growable and expandable
Radical’s Collaborative Objects (COBs) provide Radical social primitive. This enables features like issues, discussions, and code review to be implemented as Git objects. Developers can extend Radical’s capabilities to build any type of collaboration flow they see fit.
modular by design
Radical Stack comes with CLI, web interface and TUI, which are supported by Radical Node and HTTP daemon. It is modular, so any part can be replaced and other clients can be developed.
