Quanta is a content publishing/hosting platform where everything exists on a tree-structured database and each user owns a branch on this global tree which can be shared with other users. Each piece of data on the tree is called a "Node", and each node has it's own unique URL, and can markdown text (and/or images and arbitrary file attachments) and can be shared to specific other users or made public. A node can represent anything from a full document to just a paragraph, or even one sentence of content, and it's up to the user to create whatever they want and structure it as they want.
