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.

Initial version of my decentralised publishing platform for articles and blog posts - like a Web3 Medium. It's open source and [almost] fully decentralised. Runs on the Polygon network. Current version lets authors publish markdown content from their GitHub account and lets users tip articles. No wallet or GitHub account is needed to browse content. Authors link their GitHub account or organisation to their wallet address via oauth and an on-chain user registry, after which they can submit article URLs directly to the on-chain content registry. The content registry ensures only registered users can publish, and only from their registered GitHub account. By adding different hosting options and expanding the feature set, the ultimate goal is to create a platform for independent journalists to publish without fear of censorship or repression, and to fund their journalism through direct tipping, subscriptions and profit sharing models.
