# Pine

Welcome to Pine! Pine is a writing app for long-form content and making it

available to the federated web. Pine uses OStatus to create a feed of articles

that users on Mastodon or GNU Social can subscribe to and comment on.

#### Goals

* __Federation__ - Pine intends to act as an OStatus provider. People on

OStatus-based networks can subscribe to either individual author feeds or

publications. Feeds contain articles, which contain a short preview of the

full content.

* __Subscriptions__ - Pine also acts as a feed reader for your favorite articles

on the web. As an added bonus, you can subscribe to other Pine authors, and

interact directly with their articles.

* __Cross-Posting__ - Connect your GNU Social or Mastodon account so that you

can automatically cross-share to your network of choice from inside the app.

* __Microformats__ - Add contextual information for better search integration

* __OpenGraph__ - ensure that every article specifies a title, a tagline, and

an image. Article previews could look good no matter where it's being shared

from.

* __Publications__ - Authors can roll their own writing groups with an emphasis

on a specific collection of articles, and OStatus users can subscribe to this.

In a Publication's feed, author attribution still reflects the original authors.

It just happens to show up

* __Tags__ - All articles can be tagged, and those tags can be searched.

* __Graceful Degradation__ - Content should fit the network that is reading it.

GNU Social and Mastodon might need to render post in a fashion differently

than Diaspora.
