project Kyselo

self-hosted Soup.io open source clone

public beta is at https://kyselo.eu

Current status

I am able to import backup/archived RSS feed and display it in an ugly interface. It's also possible to post new content, repost, create & join groups and send DMs to other users.

Lot of features are missing or in development currently (see todo.txt).

See public beta (you need invitation code).
