SignPuddle 3 is an alpha release of a client-server application for signwriting, developed by Steve Slevinski in collaboration with Valerie Sutton. The server operates via a PHP REST API, while the client can be accessed in any web browser and installed from Git. The document provides installation instructions and links to additional resources and support.
