In plain words
Seedling is a decentralized publishing platform for articles and blog posts built on the Polygon network. Authors can publish markdown content from their GitHub account while readers can support articles through tips. The platform requires no wallet or GitHub account to browse content. Authors authenticate via GitHub through an on-chain registry and submit articles to a decentralized content registry. The open-source platform aims to enable independent journalists to publish without censorship concerns and receive direct reader funding.
