Open source has shaped the modern software landscape. Yet, despite its collaborative spirit, most contributions still happen in silos — disconnected, asynchronous, and often invisible.
We believe that the model no longer fits the pace or potential of this generation.
At Turtal, we’re reimagining what open-source collaboration could look like when it happens in real time, where coders don’t just contribute, they co-create, live.
🚩The Problem Isn’t Open Source. It’s How We Work With It.
Today’s platforms reward output, not process.
They offer visibility to a few, while countless contributors remain anonymous behind commit logs and issue threads.
Key issues:
Real-time collaboration is rarely seamless
Contributor visibility is limited and informal
Recognition is often shallow or absent
Tools feel isolated from the community-building experience
🧠Our Hypothesis
Great coders don’t just want a platform — they want a playground.
One where collaboration is instant, transparent, and rewarding.
Turtal is building exactly that:
A real-time IDE for live collaboration on open-source projects
A Rankboard that recognizes meaningful contributions across time
A vibe-first platform that feels more like creation and less like coordination
🚀 Why This Matters (Especially Now)
Open source isn’t just about free code — it’s about trust, transparency, and shared momentum.
In a world increasingly shaped by distributed teams and autonomous agents, how we build in public needs to evolve.
Turtal is a step toward that evolution, where innovation is live, distributed, and deeply human.
If you're building bold ideas, we’re building the ecosystem to help you do it together.
