Your place
on the internet
with complete sovereignty—built on the Osvauld framework.
Your content, your node, your rules.
Features
Sovereign Publishing
Publish content on your terms. Run your node on a Raspberry Pi or old phone—your infrastructure, your control.
Interactive Websites
Build multi-page websites with visual builders, custom styling, and interactive elements—all sovereign.
Blogs & Newsletters
Publish micro-blogs and newsletters directly to your viewers without platforms or restrictions.
Forms & Surveys
Collect feedback with privacy-preserving forms—only you see the submissions, nobody else.
Comment Threads
Enable real-time discussions on your content with CRDT-powered comment threads.
UCAN Authorization
Control access with cryptographic tokens—share content with specific capabilities and permissions.
Direct Distribution
Content flows directly from your node to viewers—no platforms, no algorithms, no middlemen.
Your Data, Your Control
All data exists only between you and your viewers. Nobody else has access—not even us.
Built on Osvauld
Powered by the Osvauld framework—peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted, offline-first architecture.
Why Sthalam?
We're building Sthalam because we believe you shouldn't need permission to publish.
In a world where publishing means uploading to corporate platforms that can deplatform you, censor your content, or change the rules overnight, we're creating an alternative.
Sthalam (Malayalam: സ്ഥലം, meaning 'place') gives you your own place on the internet—one that nobody can take away.
Your blogs, your surveys, your viewers' comments—all exist only between you and them. We don't store your content. We don't have access to your publishing node. We don't even know what you're publishing—and that's exactly how it should be.
Built on the Osvauld framework, Sthalam is part of a movement toward digital sovereignty, where people create and share freely without surrendering control.
This is proof-of-concept software. The architecture works, the cryptography is sound, but many features are still being refined. We're showing what's possible when you own your publishing infrastructure.
