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. make windebug or make winrelease will generate a windows executable which might work.
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/.
