#Seppo empowers you to publish short texts (and images yet to come) and to network in the Social Web. By renting commodity web space and dropping a single file. Without being subject to terms and conditions. Without having to fret about small print or tech lore. And without the need for an IT-consultant. But rather having a life.

So, not super sure what this is or how this works. Is the idea that you run the cgi, it sets up static files, and it responds to AP requests like follows, mentions, boosts and such? I realise lots of people don't like long docs but I didn't really understand the use case very well.

I think you're right. In CGI, web server spawns a process for each incoming request to the CGI app, so the author provide static files for visitors to reduce the overhead.

Edit: here is the repository: https://codeberg.org/seppo/seppo and written in OCaml, so the single file CGI app is a compiled binary.
