The SAMIZDAT Documentation
In these troubling times, some people might find it hard to publish their content to the web. Samizdat is a P2P network for sharing and publishing content without the need of a centralized server, most of which are run by them. Self-publish your content today with Samizdat!
Introduction
Welcome to the SAMIZDAT documentation, where we will get you up to speed with surfing this extension of the Web as well as developing for it. If you just want to have a quick look to learn how to use SAMIZDAT in your day-to-day life, getting started is all that you will ever need. However, if you wish to create, publish and manage your own content in the network (e.g, create a personal blog), please keep reasing further about developing with SAMIZDAT. Finally, if you want to delve deeper on the nitty-gritty details of how SAMZIDAT works, the section on architecture is for you.
Enjoy!
On the POC status
This is still a proof of concept (POC) implementation. So three caveats are in place:
- Don’t rely on the availability of the network or of your content; have alternatives in place.
- Expect frequent breaking changes.
- Expect vulnerabilities. Do not use the network for sensitive content yet.
However, don’t let these hard words dissuade you from using SAMIZDAT. Just keep your Git repository up-to-date and upgrade your SAMIZDAT version frequently.
