Hello!
Welcome to the Aardwolf project!
Not really sure where I should start off but maybe if I just keep typing something cool will come to me… OH, I know!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why not contribute to Diaspora, Friendica, or [insert_project here]?
A few reasons.
- One, at the time of inception I’d completely forgotten about Diaspora.
- Two, I strongly feel that having -more- options is better than fewer.
- Finally, I, and the rest of the initial dev-team, REALLY just wanted to do a cool project in Rust-lang.
Q: Why did you pick Rust-lang?
Because Rust seemed like a cool system-level(ish) language with built-in security. The fact that it can DO web-stuff is also pretty awesome.
Go checkout Are We Web Yet? for more info on the Rusty Web :)
