# Tilde Friends
Tilde Friends is a tool for making and sharing.
It is both a peer-to-peer social network client, participating in Secure
Scuttlebutt, as well as a platform for writing and running web applications.
## Goals
1. Make it easy and fun to run all sorts of web applications.
2. Provide security that is easy to understand and protects your data.
3. Make creating and sharing web applications accessible to anyone with a
browser.
## Building
1. Requires openssl (`libssl-dev`, in debian-speak). All other dependencies
are kept up to date in the tree.
2. To build, run `make debug` or `make release`. An executable will be
generated in a subdirectory of `out/`.
3. It's possible to build for Android, iOS, and Windows on Linux, if you have
the right dependencies in the right places. `make windebug winrelease
iosdebug-ipa iosrelease-ipa release-apk`.
4. To build in docker, `docker build .`.
## Running
By default, running the built `tildefriends` executable will start a web server
at <http://localhost:12345/>. `tildefriends -h` lists further options.
The first user to create an account and log in will be granted administrative
privileges. Further administration can be done at
<http://localhost:12345/~core/admin/>.
## Documentation
There are the very beginnings of developer documentation in `apps/docs/`
that can be read in-place or at <http://localhost:12345/~core/docs/>.
