# Orbscura

A prototype dark web microblogging system using Tor v3 onion services and the new rust Tapir/Cwtch library. It is mostly
intended as a testbed for [tapir-cwtch](https://crates.io/crates/tapir-cwtch) but also serves as a complete example
application for prototyping metadata resistant applications.
