Quick start

What to look at, in order. Stop wherever you have what you need.

1. Get the idea. What, then How it works. A few minutes.
2. Check a real file. Download a demo object from Demo and drop it on Verify.
3. Make your own. Follow the desktop guide (Linux) or the phone guide (Android). About 3 hours, mostly waiting.
4. Use it. Sign in to this site with the PCOC you made.
5. Understand why. Learning, starting with the suggested four.
6. Build or run it yourself. On GitHub (coming soon), in this order:
   1. the pcoc README;
   2. the SPEC and the conformance vectors. An implementation built from these alone should verify the demo objects;
   3. the references in Rust, Go and Java, to compare against;
   4. the services: Bari, the index and the Admission Gate;
   5. the apps, and primal-pcoc for the phone.

More detail on each layer is on Technical.
