Overview
Memeograph is a cross-platform application built on top of the BeTTY federated protocol, designed to unify the tools journalists, researchers, and knowledge workers use to collect, organize, and share information.
It combines secure messaging, RSS aggregation, social networking, and research coordination into a local-first data lakehouse that stores all information in structured, privacy-protected files called bettyDocs.
Built on the Betty stack (httbd + marXDown) Memeograph provides a human-readable, semantically rich environment for the next generation of networked intelligence.
The Problem
Today’s information ecosystem is needlessly fragmented yet increasingly centralized, and threateningly opaque to end-users.
Journalists and researchers depend on third-party algorithms that dictate what they see and when.
Meanwhile, information consumers lose valuable context locked inside proprietary silos.
Centralized platforms own both the data and the algorithms. AI systems are trained on data that users can neither verify nor control, exploiting user data without transparency or consent.
Users create the world's knowledge, but can't verify or reuse it. What personal information we do transmit is under increasing scrutiny and threat of attack by cybercriminals.
Professionals who rely on verifiable information have few trustworthy tools for collaboration and discovery.
We need a new security model, transparent computation, and human-centered AI.
The Solution
Memeograph delivers on the promise of the semantic internet: a network of peers, not platforms; of intelligence grounded in trust, not surveillance.
Built on the BeTTY stack, it offers a principled alternative: a federated, open-source infrastructure that restores control to humans and transparency for machines.
By turning social interactions, research, and media into verifiable, locally owned and private-key encrypted bettyDocs, Memeograph allows individuals and teams to organize, share, and analyze information without surrendering it to intermediaries.
Every post, feed, and AI process remains auditable, portable, and permissioned through KEBAC (Keyed-Encryption Based Access Control).
