PixelSocial

A small micro-blogging social network app with PixelArt aesthetics and integrated filter to pixelate shared images.

Thanks to the webxdc technology, it means there is no login or registration needed, nor dependency on any server, and you can have your very own independent instance of the social network in a group chat with friends and family, your data staying in your devices and e2e encrypted if you use it inside Delta Chat.

It can also be wired with bots that allow importing RSS feeds inside the network (including RSS feeds of Mastodon accounts!) for example see: https://github.com/deltachat-bot/pixelsocial
