kiwistand v0.4.0

attestate/kiwistand

kiwistand is a p2p node client for a web3 writer friendly Hacker News that nobody controls but everybody co-owns

installation

It is required to have installed:

• node >= v16

git clone git@github.com:attestate/kiwistand.git
cp .env-copy .env
npm i
# and then for the frontend
cd src/web && npm i &&& cd ../..
npm run dev:anon
# might error when trying to create the data dir, that's a bug right now, just run it again

If your Ethereum RPC node is behind a reverse proxy with Authorization requirements, consider adding the @attestate/crawler RPC_API_KEY environment variable (details).

docs

We document the code base in Sphinx, see ./docs. We host the documentation at attestate.com/kiwistand/main.

node operators

Since https://news.kiwistand.com is now running live as a p2p node, you're invited to run your own nodes and frontends. However, please consider to join a chat like the attestate dev chat to stay in touch for eventual upgrade announcements as the protocol is far from being complete.
