+# Feedless
+
+The non-addictive social network
+
+## About
+
+Feedless combines the best original ideas of popular social networks without the bad parts
+
+- You have your own wall, but you can only post with 140 characters, like original Twitter
+- If you want to check on others you have to go to their profile, like original Facebook or Orkut
+- You can send secret messages, like original Snapchat, but there are no stories
+- There is no feed to scroll forever, no cassino slot machine addiction
+- There are no likes nor any mindless interactions, if you like something, you tell the person, like a human
+
+Because Feedless is not a business, we don't need to make people addicted just to sell more ads and please shareholders. Feedless is built on top of [SSB], a decentralized social network protocol, which means the community sustains it, not a corporation.
+
+## Usage
+
+Feedless Web uses [NodeJS].
+
+```sh
+cd web
+npm install
+npm start
+```
+
+Then navigate to `http://localhost:7624/` in your browser.
