Local Admin
Posts, images, settings, Shell caches, workspace vaults, and encrypted keys stay local and encrypted unless you export them.
Features + Q&A
PostSnail Alpha 2
Write a static microblog, create a post-quantum signed fingerprint locally, verify the ZIP locally, publish on a free static host, and register public summaries in Forest.
Signed ZIPs
Every export includes SHA3-512 file hashes, ML-DSA-65 post signatures, and a signed manifest fingerprint.
Verifier
The Verify tab recomputes hashes and signatures from a complete ZIP without calling a backend.
Forest
Forest verifies public proof metadata and indexes searchable summaries, not full post bodies.
Does PostSnail Upload My Writing?
No. The admin is browser-only and does not automatically register or upload anything. Forest registration is a separate action after your public site is live.
Does The Fingerprint Prove Identity?
It proves the bundle matches the manifest and publisher public key. It does not prove legal identity, factual accuracy, or that the JavaScript runtime is FIPS-validated.
Can Forest Index My Site?
Yes, if your deployed site exposes .well-known/postsnail.json and postsnail.manifest.json. Forest verifies those public proof files before indexing summaries.
Can I Host It For Free?
Yes. The generated files are static and work on Surge or any plain static host.
Does My Generated Blog Show PostSnail Branding?
Generated blogs can show a small Powered by PostSnail footer and tracker credit by default. The creator can disable those Generate settings before export.
