README

CTZN (pronounced "Citizen")

A decentralized social network with a strong focus on building communities.

Features

Status feeds with 256 character limits but the ability to post "extended text" with no limit (shows on expand).
Social following and moderated communities.
Threaded comments.
Decentralized hosting (anybody can create a server, and data syncs using the Hypercore Protocol).

Read the initial design document to learn more about the architecture.

⚠️ Alpha Software

CTZN is still in development! If you decide to run a server or build against the protocol, beware that breaking changes may occur and won't always be communicated ahead of time. We will create a stability process once CTZN reaches beta.
