# Tilde Friends
Tilde Friends is a program that aims to securely host pure JavaScript web applications.

## Goals
1. Make it easy to run all sorts of servers and web applications.
2. Provide a security model that is easy to understand and protects your data.
3. Make creating and sharing web applications accessible to anyone from a web interface.

## Building
Tilde Friends is [routinely](https://www.unprompted.com/projects/build/tildefriends) built on Linux, Windows, and OS X.

1. Get and build [Google V8](https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki/Building%20from%20Source) (latest 5.5).
2. Get and build [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv) (latest 1.10.1).
3. Run:
  ```
  scons uv=path/to/libuv v8=path/to/v8
  ```

## Running
Running the built tildefriends executable will start a web server.  This is a good starting point: <http://localhost:12345/>.

The first use to create an account and log in will be granted administrative privileges.  Everything can be managed entirely from the web interface.

This is all a work in progress.
