I find the copy on the website to be rather vague or off-topic.
From the homepage:
Tent is open, decentralized, and built for the future. Tent changes everything.
Tent allows every user to run their own server, but like email and the web, most
users will use a hosting service to handle it.
and the blog:
The documentation for Tent version 0.1 is now available along with a reference
server, tentd.
From halfway down the homepage:
What is Tent?
Tent is a protocol for open, decentralized social networking.
I understand that the creators are busy building the product, but some marketing can really help create an excited community.
Is this project like Diaspora? How is this different from the competition. I'm excited to hear how this is unique and to see where the project goes.
- streptomycin 14y agoThe "Lifecycle of a post" section on the homepage is a pretty straightforward description of how it works. But I would also be interested in comparisons not only to Diaspora, but also to Statusnet.
- jeremyjh 14y agoThere is little to compare. Tent is a protocol. Applications need to be built to use it. Diaspora is an application with an unspecced, intertwined federation protocol.
- streptomycin 14y agoAnd Statusnet? And other distributed federated social networking protocols?
- riffic 14y agostatusnet is software, not a protocol. the protocol is ostatus.
- kordless 14y agoSo you're saying they need to pitch Tent?
