Recent events on Reddit have inspired me to resurrect a side project I've intermittently worked on for over a year: a 100% decentralized version of Reddit, running on the Algorand blockchain.

If you're familiar with platforms like Reddit or Hacker News, Metapost will feel very familiar to you. The key difference is that all data is stored on the blockchain, rendering it resistant to censorship and ensuring it will remain available to everyone forever. Metapost also supports comments, upvotes, user-created and moderated boards, and it rewards users for interacting with the platform by distributing a token. More features like mobile support, threaded comments, image posts and better moderation tools are on the roadmap.

While cryptocurrency is an excellent platform for DeFi, network like Algorand with fast and cheap transactions also makes it an excellent choice for other types of decentralized apps. Metapost is an experiment in what Web3 could enable in the future.

I would be grateful if you could give it a try: https://metapost.io/

Please keep in mind that the website is still under active development. The user interface needs some polish, a lot of functionalities are yet to be added, and you may run into occasional bugs. Also open to any feedback!
