+# Current state of guppe
+
+Guppe is a tech demo. It is missing a lot of features, and I am in the process of rewriting it's core code from scratch in the fully-implemented, [modular ActivityPub library activitypub-express](https://github.com/immers-space/activitypub-express). I'll try to keep up with major bugfixes, but I won't be adding any features to guppe until i finish apex and can port guppe over to the new engine.
