-====== Welcome to the PawPub documentation ======+====== PawPub documentation ======
  
 **PawPub** is an experimental web-based protocol for federated social media. It's designed to be easy to understand and (relatively) simple to implement, while still being featureful and extensible enough to support rich social software. Its creator [[https://winter.entities.org.uk/|winter]] was inspired by previous work such as [[https://activitypub.rocks/|ActivityPub]], but PawPub is a fundamentally different protocol and is not compatible with any other similar project. For more about the protocol itself, see [[PawPub]], or for common topics, see the links in the sidebar. **PawPub** is an experimental web-based protocol for federated social media.

 There is no "reference implementation" of PawPub, but winter is developing //an// implementation called [[Digitigrade]] in order to test out the protocol in a real world application. Although it is not a reference implementation (i.e. the code quality or spec conformance isn't guaranteed) you're welcome to read through some of its code if you like. There is no "reference implementation" of PawPub, but winter is developing //an// implementation called [[Digitigrade]] in order to test out the protocol in a real world application.
