What is it?

Nonograph is a minimalist publishing platform for writing posts without tying them to an identity. You write a page in the browser and get a shareable link in one click. There are no accounts, no profiles, and no analytics tracking readers.

Posts support a broad set of markup options, which you can browse by typing `/` on a new line. The project can be run as a Docker container, built from source with `make up`, or run natively on Debian. Operators can expose the service as a Tor hidden service, and the Docker setup prints the generated `.onion` address in the logs.

The project is in the public domain under the Unlicense. Several third-party instances are listed, and the project has had security reviews and parser testing.
