The purpose of Quotum is to allow users to store strings of texts as quotations. Typically this would include conversations or things people have said. In addition, the platform allows quotes to be categorised so that quotes pertaining to particular topics can be searched.

Quotum is written in Haskell and PureScript and uses Snap as its web framework and acid-state as its database backend. Pages and stylesheets are written using Heist and SASS respectively. Quotum is available under the MIT license.
