Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 6, Utility: 5)

Syrinx is a proof-of-concept, censorship-resistant federated social platform where encrypted posts are stored on users' devices and servers act as BitTorrent-like trackers relaying ciphertext. It combines OpenPGP signing, distributed storage, and a public admin ledger to reduce central points of failure, aiming at small closed communities that need resilience against takedowns.

Target audience: backend devs, security engineers, privacy advocates, community operators
