Stigmee is a decentralized and open source web browser and social network 3D, made with Godot and the Chromium Embedded Framework, it is designed to run on PC (Linux, Mac OS, Windows...) and expected for mobile (iOS, Android). It can be seen as an open source competitor and decentralized direct to the Metaverse, but it is much more than that. In Stigmee, the users (the Stigmers) assemble collections of relevant web addresses, such as collections of tabs in a browser. Assembling a series of URLs can take between 15 minutes and 15 hours depending on the topic (which restaurant are we going to tonight? 15 mins; which cryptocurrency to buy? 15 hours) and when a user closes his window with his relevant tabs, all that work is wasted. To not have loosing them, Stigmee preserves them anonymously and uses them for offering a collection of relevant tabs to the user directly, potentially saving him 15 hours since nobody wants to see 30 pop-up tabs in their browser at the same time, Stigmee requires containing the experience and the interface: it's there where the 3D web and Godot take actions: the tab series is represented as a "strand", depicted by the shore of a river in where URLs are spatialized as lands by a river this strand can be copied, modified, shared (modified). This working method is comparable to that of WAZE which uses the paths traveled by motorists to calculate the best paths possible, it is called STIGMERGY and comes from hives and anthills. This is why the network is called STIGMEE.

For installing Stigmee, you have to follow instructions in the install.
The Stigmee code source has been split into several git repositories. To download them into a workspace we are using a special tool and the README of this repository will explain it deeply.
All gdnative-XXX (XXX: cef, stigmark, ipfs) are our wrapper on libraries or
our personal libraries to be used by Godot script.
The Stigmee repo contains the Godot code making the Stigmee application.
Currently, we have ended with our first minimal valid product (MVP): to check if CEF can live within Godot (and the answer is yes): we can compile Stigmee for Linux and Windows. The application is offering some features such as displaying islands, strands, web pages, and database ... But we have plenty of features to implement before Stigmee becomes a full usable application: such as the distributed database, create our own tokens (money), improve the GUI (we need artists) and make a portage for devices such as Android.
Contributions, bug fixes and improvements are welcome. For major contribution, please first contact our team (Discord or through the GitHub discussion) before coding and creating pull request: this will help to discuss before and help the synchronization with our team (no work make in double, ...)
