(work in progress)

Butt as a Service helps you provision and monitor Scuttlebutt bots in the cloud.

get started with INSTALL.md

most people seem happy to pay $5 / month.

if we prove a successful value flow, we can scale the ecosystem of Scuttlebutt bot providers, in order to support the ecosystem of Scuttlebutt organizers.
