Dark Matter

From IndieWeb


Dark Matter is an open source personal publishing platform project (created with Ruby on Rails) by Shane Becker and Bookis Worthy. http://darkmatterapp.com



Dark Matter Platform

The longer term plan is build a collection of apps that work separately or together to provide a person with her #indieweb needs. The first app is Publisher. The second will likely be Reader or Contacts.

Development Technology

Dark Matter Reader

We have plans to eventually build a feed reader too. It'll read RSS/Atom, h-entry, and popular silo snowflake APIs (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo, YouTube, et al). It will be usable standalone or in conjuction with an instance of Dark Matter Publisher.


Dark Matter Contacts

We have plans to eventually build a contact manager too. It'll be an adressbook of people, people/sites you follow, people you link to, places you geo-tag posts at, places you host events at, etc. It will be usable standalone or in conjuction with an instance of Dark Matter Publisher.



Open Source

Our work is primarily focused on one repo right now:
https://github.com/darkmatterapp/publisher-server-rails

All of Dark Matter is open source. It's very much a work in progress.

The license will be the same license I always use: Public Domain.
