A decentralized messaging and sharing app built on top of Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB). Created by Secure Scuttlebutt Consortium It’s better than email because: – Private messages are end-to-end encrypted, always. – You have to follow somebody to get messages from them, so you won’t get spammed. – Your mail can be public broadcasts or private, and you’ll only see replies by people you follow. – The datastructure is a global mesh of append-only logs, which can support new types of data (not just “mail”). – Users are not bound to one server/host (what we call “pubs”) and do not have to trust the servers. – It’s very easy to setup and maintain your own pub…. More Info »It’s better than twitter and facebook because: – Private messages are end-to-end encrypted, always. – The software runs on your device, so there’s nobody tracking your browsing. – The application-code is FOSS, so you’re free to fork or write new applications without a gatekeeper setting terms. – Data is saved to your disk, and so the application works offline. – You can sync directly with friends over the wifi. Because we’re still in development, **you’ll need to contact an SSB team member (in #scuttlebutt on Freenode) to get onto the network!**That’s our informal barrier to entry right now, since we’re not prepared for lots of users yet.Patchwork embeds the [Scuttlebot networked database](https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot ), so if you’re running Patchwork, you don’t need to run another scuttlebot server.
