      Not yet, but I’ll definitely post something when I get to a point where I’m ready to share the code. I definitely want it to be open source, I just want enough functionality there so the long term vision is clear.

      But here’s some details of what I’m trying to achieve:

      • web of trust-based moderation - no “mods,” only metadata from people you trust (upvotes, downvotes, blocks, etc)
      • all storage on devices of users of the service - the more storage you provide, the better your experience; your preferred communities have first priority, but everyone stores something random from the service
      • text posts only, at least to start - images/videos need to be hosted elsewhere

      I’m building it initially as a desktop app, but I’ll port it later to mobile and maybe web (still trying to figure out how web would work; maybe some notion of instances?).

      I’m hoping to bridge to lemmy with an ActivityPub service to get content, but I’m not working on that until the above is ready.
