The five-minute tour

  1. Install and open it. On first run Souspli creates an identity — a key that lives on your machine. There is no sign-up because there is nobody to sign up with.
  2. Press New → Memo. Fill it in under Edit, flip to View to see exactly what will be signed, press Publish, and confirm. You now hold a signed letter.
  3. Press Share… → Save as file… and send the .thing file to a friend by any means you like. They double-click it; Souspli verifies the signature and every attachment before showing a pixel, and tells them who signed it.
  4. They press Comment, write a reply, and send that file back. Your copy of the memo now shows a comment under it — a thread, with no server in between.

Everything else — forums, contracts, votes, moderation — is that same loop with different types of letter.
