We are redesigning Wust from scratch. Check out https://woost.space.

Wust

A hypergraph-based discussion system

This is a proof of concept prototype. Please don't consider extending this project. We'd like to do a complete rewrite based on the experiences, user study results, insights and new ideas we have now. If you are interested, please contact us.
