Newebe is a distributed social network that allows users to publish messages, pictures, and files independently without involving third parties while maintaining the benefits of centralization like a friendly UI and interoperable data. It uses an asynchronous Python server with a document database and single-page application frontend. The network aims to be independent, interoperable, easy to use, and protect user privacy.

2. At the beginning of the web,
social interactions were based on static
websites and P2P networks.

3. Then arrived major social networks.
With them, the data centralisation.

4. Soon after, federative social networks were
born. It looks more familiar.

5. Then came the distributed social networks, each
user shares directly with his contacts.
