22### What is ANProto?
23
24+ ANProto is the spiritual successor to [secure-scuttlebot](https://scuttlebot.io), but without all of the extra stuff that is difficult to maintain.
25+ ANProto is an attempt to argue that [ATProto](https://atproto.com) is too involved in it's own networking infrastructure to be usefully decentralized.
26+ ANProto operates under the working theory that [Nostr](https://fiatjaf.com/nostr.html) will never reach anyone besides Bitcoiners.

30### Bring your own network!
31
32ANProto works over any networking stack. Open the messages from your URL bar! Email them to your friends! Load them on a USB stick an slingshot them over a river! ANProto is non-networked, so you can send and retrieve the messages anyway you want. Try the fetch API or Websockets if you want a good place to start. But maybe dork out trying to send ANProto messages via Bluetooth, LoRa, or sync them via local wifi like you did with Scuttlebot!
