Rebranding Mintter Hypermedia

Background

Since the inception in 2019, our app and company have been known as Mintter. In late 2023 we introduced Hypermedia, our open content protocol.
We invite other developers to join the Hypermedia movement and develop their own apps on the protocol and open source infrastructure. Together we are building a future for the web that is permanent, organized, signed, and decentralized!
Today we are renaming ourselves to "<> Hypermedia". We are the team in control of the <> app. Other developers may not mimic <> (although they are welcome to contribute through pull requests!). We will keep the app open source, so you can fork and rename to use the app code for your purposes.
We plan to make money by providing services that enhance the Hypermedia experience, such as content storage and web distribution. The <> app will provide easy access to these services, and will support connection to third-party services as well.
