Known is an open source publishing tool designed to provide a way of more easily publishing status updates, blog posts, and photos to a wide range of social media services. It also allows you to keep a copy of the content you publish and post on your own site. [5]

Known is available as installable open source software, similar to WordPress. [6] It is a part of the IndieWeb movement, [7] and is used as a teaching tool in higher education. [8] [9] It also supports multi-user use, and is sometimes considered as an intranet platform. [10]

Known supports the W3C Recommendations Micropub [11] and Webmention [12] among others.

Known is supported since 2019 by Open Collective that serves as fiscal sponsor since for many FLOSS projects. [13] [14]
