## Description

This PHP application implements the Spotnet protocol for a decentralized Usenet community. Users browse and filter curated posts called spots, each with descriptions and images. The system supports posting comments, rating content, and maintaining personal watchlists. It integrates with download clients Sabnzbd, NZBGet, and NZBVortex, and serves as a Newznab provider for automation tools such as Sick Gear, SickBeard, and CouchPotato. A granular permission system manages multiple users, while themes can be customized via CSS. The software runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and NAS devices (Synology, QNAP). Setup requires a web server, PHP 7.2+ with several extensions, and a database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite). Stable releases are published (latest 1.5.8) and development remains active.
