It's not for \"audiences.\" It's for people.\n\n**This is not another social feed.**\n\nSable is the black-and-white antithesis of algorithmic social media — a deliberate space for thoughtful digital presence.\n\n## ✨ Core Features\n\n### 🔒 End-to-End Encrypted Posts\n- Every post is encrypted client-side, per follower\n- Posts are opaque to the server — Sable only relays encrypted data\n- Zero-knowledge architecture\n\n### 👤 Follow-Based Network\n- Users choose who to follow\n- Followers must be approved\n- Users only see posts from people they follow\n- No content discovery algorithms\n\n### 📜 Chronological Feed\n- No sorting, no algorithm\n- Just the raw, decrypted feed in timestamp order\n- Authentic, unmanipulated timeline\n\n### 🧘 No Engagement Metrics\n- No likes, comments (optional), or public counts\n- No trending content, reposts, or gamification\n- Focus on authentic connection, not performance\n\n### 🧾 Minimalist Compose\n- Text-first posting experience\n- Optional encrypted image or file attachments\n- Post expiration timer (24h, 7d, or never)\n\n### 🗂️ User Management\n- Device-level key store\n- Session revocation and follower management\n- Revoking a follower cuts off access to future content\n\n## 🎨 Design Philosophy\n\n- **Color Scheme**: Pure black \u0026 white monochrome UI\n- **Typography**: Clean, neutral sans-serif (Inter/IBM Plex Sans)\n- **Spacing**: Generous whitespace for editorial feel\n- **Motion**: Minimal fade transitions only\n- **Icons**: Line-based, monochrome, pixel-aligned\n- **Theme**: Text-focused, terminal meets notebook aesthetic\n\n## 🧱 Tech Stack\n\n- **Frontend**: Next.js 15 with React 19\n- **Encryption**: WebCrypto API with libsodium/tweetnacl\n- **Backend**: Next.js API routes (encrypted data relay only)\n- **Database**: PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM\n- **Authentication**: better-auth (passwordless/invite-based)\n- **Styling**: Tailwind CSS v4 (monochrome theme)\n- **UI Components**: Radix UI primitives\n\n## 🚀 Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n- Node.js 18+ or Bun\n- PostgreSQL database\n- Git\n\n### Installation\n\n1. **Clone the repository**\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/your-org/sable.git\n   cd sable\n   ```\n\n2. **Install dependencies**\n   ```bash\n   bun install\n   ```\n\n3. **Set up environment variables**\n   ```bash\n   cp .env.example .env\n   ```\n   \n   Configure your `.env` file:\n   ```env\n   # Authentication\n   BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=your-secret-key-here\n   BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000\n   \n   # Database\n   DATABASE_URL=postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/sable\n   \n   # Encryption (auto-generated on first run)\n   SABLE_SERVER_KEYPAIR=\n   ```\n\n4. **Set up the database**\n   ```bash\n   # Generate database schema\n   bun run db:generate\n   \n   # Run migrations\n   bun run db:migrate\n   ```\n\n5. **Start the development server**\n   ```bash\n   bun dev\n   ```\n\n6. **Open your browser**\n   Navigate to `http://localhost:3000`\n\n### Using Docker (Local Development)\n\nFor local development with Docker:\n\n```bash\n# Start local PostgreSQL\ndocker-compose up -d\n\n# Use this DATABASE_URL in your .env\nDATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/sable\n```\n\n## 🔐 Security Features\n\n- **Client-side encryption**: All posts encrypted before leaving your device\n- **Zero-knowledge server**: Server cannot read your content\n- **Perfect forward secrecy**: Revoking followers cuts future access\n- **No tracking**: No analytics, no engagement farming\n- **Minimal metadata**: Only encrypted blobs and timestamps stored\n\n## 🎯 MVP Scope\n\n### ✅ Must Have\n- [x] Encrypted follow requests\n- [x] Encrypted post sharing\n- [x] Chronological feed\n- [x] Compose with expiration\n- [x] Basic key management\n- [x] Web-only MVP\n\n### 🔄 Nice to Have\n- [ ] Offline support\n- [ ] Mobile PWA\n- [ ] Encrypted comment threads\n- [ ] Media attachments\n- [ ] Export/backup functionality\n\n## 👥 Target Audience\n\n- Technically literate users seeking quieter social spaces\n- Creatives and thinkers wanting private publishing\n- People burned out by mainstream social media\n- Activists requiring discreet communication\n- Small communities and private networks\n\n## 🔮 Roadmap\n\n- **Phase 1**: MVP with core encrypted posting\n- **Phase 2**: Mobile PWA and offline support\n- **Phase 3**: Decentralized/federated version\n- **Phase 4**: Advanced features (plugins, integrations)\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n\nSable is built with privacy and security as core principles. All contributions must maintain these standards.\n\n1. Fork the repository\n2. Create a feature branch\n3. Ensure all encryption remains client-side\n4. Test thoroughly\n5. Submit a pull request\n\n## 📄 License\n\nMIT License - see [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details.\n\n## 🛡️ Privacy Commitment\n\nSable is designed with privacy by default:\n- No user tracking or analytics\n- No content scanning or moderation algorithms  \n- No engagement metrics or social pressure\n- Your data stays encrypted and private\n\n---\n\n*\"In a world of noise, Sable offers silence. In a world of surveillance, Sable offers sanctuary.\"*\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fizadoesdev%2Fsable","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fizadoesdev%2Fsable","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fizadoesdev%2Fsable/lists"}
