Abstract

In this specification, we describe how to write a Status client for communicating with other Status clients.

We present a reference implementation of the protocol ¹ that is used in a command line client ² and a mobile app ³.

This document consists of two parts. The first outlines the specifications that have to be implemented in order to be a full Status client.
