### Announcement of 102

## 🎉 Social Reader is out!

Today we are releasing an **exciting enhancement** for Distributed Press: the Social Reader - a new way to read posts on the Fediverse.

### The Social Reader is a privacy-first personal reader for subscribing to content published on federated social media.

The Social Reader is ideal whether it's your first step into the Fediverse, and you want to browse without creating an account, or you just prefer to use tools that are private-by-design.

Skip the need to manage a digital persona with this free, no sign-up tool: just follow and access all the beautiful content you want.

- Local-first
- Works offline
- No account

*(We'll use a prettier GIF for this, but I can't paste it in HackMD)*

🎉
This tool also **works without internet connectivity**: you'll have your own database locally, so you don't need to go online to read posts. 

In addition, it has native support for **subscribing via peer-to-peer feeds** if you use **[Agregore](https://agregore.mauve.moe/)**, [Galacteek](https://galacteek.gitlab.io/es/) or any other **p2p browser**. This makes use of the peer-to-peer published versions of people's sites, fostering the ecosystem to gradually adopt  decentralized publishing flows. Consequently, streams are more resistant to outages or attacks, gievn that their data is distributed across multiple nodes. 💪

*Peer-to-peer refers to the direct sharing of resources and information between devices or users without relying on a central server.
