- Please camouflage Claude use a little bit better, the README is so cringe it makes it actually hard to understand what the value proposition really is
- You can use GitSocial CLI to push git repositories straight to S3 without any dependencies: https://gitsocial.org/.
The buckets then are actual remotes and double as static sites. GitSocial website itself is hosted on Cloudflare R2.
by delf - Conditional Put (often called compare and swap) shipped 21 months ago, and it has just been absolutely wild the massive flocking towards disaggregated storage, towards object stores that has been going on since then. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42240678 https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/11/amazon-s3...
PicoMQ also showing up today, a Durable Streams implementation on object store (S3). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49421806 https://picomq.com/
Celld, a Durable Objects implementation, is also heavily heavily using conditional put, for all manners of coordination. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49185430 https://celld.dev
Longstanding SlateDB is built around it too! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41714858 https://slatedb.io/
Yet another fine example here! Data comes in, we make sure we don't overwrite work, we write what we have.

- underlying idea of storing git repositories in object stores is identical to https://github.com/tigrisdata/objgit
- We've created Walinux, a Linux that runs as a durable object in S3, so it's diskless, serverless, transistorless, electricity-less, scales to zero and infinity simultaneously, and can be traded as an NFT ape. Mathematicians are dumbfounded.
The thirty-five thousand other "S3-backed CLI tool for AI" projects are now obsolete.
by themgt - This is going to be a meta comment, my apologies.
But I now understand the growth in Github's activity that led to its instability recently. Folks just see a project (Cursor's Origin), open up a claude session with a couple harness, and just throw a lot of money, and external energy at generating what will most likely end up being garbage.
But this garbage looks and feels good at the onset, and so a few iterations happen, more PRs, more commits until it dies down.
In the end, almost nothing of value was created, it was just machine creating stuff for other machines, while humans were mostly spectators of an illusion.
Rinse and repeat.
