Bitsocial is meant to grow into thousands of apps, tools, and services built by anyone, not approved by gatekeepers. If you’re a dev, submit your own app.
Board administration tooling for custom 5chan communities.
5chan Board Manager connects to Bitsocial CLI to help administrators create, configure, and moderate custom imageboard boards. It is the utility layer for board owners who want operational control.
Command-line control for nodes, communities, and automation workflows.
Bitsocial CLI is the official terminal interface for the protocol. Use it to manage nodes, publish content, start a WebSocket JSON-RPC server for programmatic control and code automation, automate admin flows, and work directly against Bitsocial primitives without a GUI client.
Telegram bot that posts compact GitHub activity for Bitsocial repositories.
Bitsocial GitHub Alerts forwards pushes, releases, issues, and pull requests from GitHub into any Telegram chat, group, or forum topic. The Bitsocial team runs it for its own repositories, and the container image is public so anyone can self-host it for theirs.
Self-hostable crawler, search index, and web UI for Bitsocial communities.
Bitsocial Indexer connects to a Bitsocial CLI daemon over RPC, indexes the communities an operator configures into a local SQLite database, and serves them through a REST and full-text search API with an optional server-rendered web UI. It ships empty: the operator decides what gets indexed.
Link-preview and redirect server that renders share cards for Bitsocial posts.
Bitsocial Previewer renders OpenGraph and Twitter cards when a post link is shared on other platforms, then redirects real browsers into the app. One instance is multi-tenant by hostname, so a single deployment and TLS setup covers every client and mirror domain.
Public seeder for Bitsocial communities, packaged for Docker and npm.
Bitsocial Seeder pins community first pages, post-update CIDs, and pubsub topic routing through a Bitsocial daemon. It reuses an already-running local daemon when one is reachable or starts the bundled bitsocial-cli daemon automatically, and ships as both a Docker image for unattended VPS deployments and an npm package for Node-first operators.
Feed bots that relay new Bitsocial posts into Telegram channels or groups.
Bitsocial Telegram Bots monitor client community lists and forward new posts into Telegram destinations with inline links back to Bitsocial clients. The active bot covers 5chan feeds today, with the repo structured to add more client-specific bots over time.
Offline-first editor for a community's anti-spam challenge settings.
Challenge Composer visualizes and edits the challenges array of a Bitsocial community's settings, then exports a ready-to-run CLI script. It ships as a single self-contained HTML file that makes no outward requests at runtime, so it can be opened straight from disk or a USB stick.
Fallback pubsub relay and routing provider for Bitsocial operators.
Pubsub Provider runs a bundled Kubo node with Bitsocial-compatible pubsub, gateway, name-provider, and delegated HTTP routing endpoints. It is useful as a fallback path for clients that disable pure browser P2P, and it defaults to swarm port 4002 so it can run beside bitsocial-seeder on the same host.
