Notabug UI

Federated fork of classic reddit UI based on gunDB

I think all censorship should be deplored. My position is that bits are not a bug.

notabug is a p2p link aggregator app that is:

• distributed: peers backup/serve content
• anonymous: but don't trust it to be
• psuedo-anonymous: users can create optional cryptographic identities
• immutable: edits are not supported for anonymous content
• mutable: edits are supported for authenticated content
• PoW-based: voting is slow/CPU heavy
