Oasis

Oasis is a free, open-source, peer-to-peer social application that helps you follow friends and discover new ones on Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB).

🦀 Powered by SSB.
You're the center of your own distributed network. Online or offline, SSB works anywhere that you are. Follow the people you want to see and never worry about spam again. Migrate your data to another SSB app any time you want.

🌐 Bring your own browser.
Use your favorite web browser to read and write messages to the people you care about. Oasis runs over HTTP, so you don't need to worry about adding another Electron app to your computer.

🏰 Just HTML and CSS.
No browser JavaScript! Oasis has strict security rules that prevent any JavaScript from running in your browser, which helps us make Oasis accessible and easy to improve.
