This is good \nbecause I'm aiming at an under-served audience. The Fediverse already has \nmicroblogging software (Mastodon), so MeowCat will carve out a new ecological \nniche. \n\nMeowCat uses a varient of **Markdown** markup, with extensions for hashtags and \nwiki links. Code highlighting is enabled, making it attractive to programmers \n(another under-served audience).\n\nMeowCat will allow **polls** on posts so users can get feedback. Each poll \nquestion can allow multiple answers or only one. \n\nEach user will be able to **upload images** which they can embed in their \nposts, replies, and wiki pages. They will also be able to embed images from \nPixelFed and videos from PeerTube. Legacy non-federated platfroms such as YouTube \nwill also be supported.\n\nMeowCat will be part of the **Fediverse** with Meowcat instances talking to each \nother and other Fediverse services using **ActivityPub**.\n\nEach user will have their own **wiki**, their own personal web space in which \nthey can create pages on whatever they want (similar to Geocities).\n\nMeowCat will allow people to group posts based on **topics** (similar to Reddit's\nsubreddits). Each topic will have its own **topic-based wiki**, where users can\ncollaboratively create content.\n\nWikis can optionally be linked together on multiple instances so that any change\nto the wiki on one instance is automatically copied (perhaps using a flood-fill \nalgorithm) to other instances. This would then be a distributed wiki\nwhich would be resilient so that if one instance went down, the wiki would \nstill be there.\n\nMeowCat will allow users to send **private posts** to other users (similar to email).\nWhen private posts travel over the internet they will be encrypted.\n\nA long term goal of MeowCat is to allow users to get a **Raspberry Pi**, download \nthe MeowCat software onto the Pi, spend 10 minutes configuring it though a web\ninterface, and then attaching the Pi to their home router to act as their\nown social media server that they and their friends can use, connected to\nall other federated servers using ActivityPub.\n\n## Where MeowCat is now\n\nThe current implementation is written in Python, with some client-side JavaScript.\n\nIt currently does blogging and wikis,  although you can't upload images yet. \n\nConnection to the Fediverse is not yet implemented.\n\n\n## License\n\n![AGPL logo](app/static/agplv3-155x51.png)\n\nThis program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the **GNU Affero General Public License** as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.\n\nThis program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. \nSee the [GNU Affero General Public License](LICENSE.md) for more details.\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcabalamat%2Fmeowcat2","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcabalamat%2Fmeowcat2","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcabalamat%2Fmeowcat2/lists"}
