| '''Kokonotsuba''' is an open-source [[Imageboard|imageboard software]] originally developed by [[kuz]] for use on [[List of Kuz owned Websites|his websites]]<ref name="kolymakok">https://archive.ph/f1VKK</ref>, and as of June 2024 is only used by [[Heyuri]], and formerly, [https://neocafe.org NeoCafe] and [https://nashikouen.net Nashi Kouen]. Originally a fork of [[pixmicat]], the software has since been modified so heavily that in 2021, kuz declared that it was its own independent software. It was originally released on March 14th, 2021 ([[9chan|9channel's]] 16th birthday), and was made open source on January 6th, 2023.<ref>https://github.com/Heyuri/kokonotsuba</ref>

| == Features ==
| |
| | |
| Kokonotsuba is known for being slow, although it is mostly bugless with a few exceptions. It notably has several unique features, such as trip-mail, a dating feature, built-in polls, and more. However, many of these features are not currently enabled on Heyuri.

| == Origin of the name ==
| |
| | |
| The name ''Kokonotsuba'' was originally suggested by an anonymous [[StrawberryHeaven]] user on November 7th, 2020, in a thread titled "New Software Name Suggestions Thread".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20201121205624/https://img.strawberryheaven.net/q/</ref>

| <blockquote>If you want to stick with "number of leaves on a plant" naming convention (e.g. Futaba (2 leaves), Yotsuba (4 leaves)), Kokonotsuba would be the "9 leaves" variation</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| According to KolymaNET's official website:
| |
| <blockquote>The name "Kokonotsuba" was chosen after the long-lasting tradition of naming imageboard software after the number of leaves on a plant (e.g. Futaba). "9 leaves" was chosen because of 9channel, the genesis of KolymaNET.<ref name="kolymakok" /></blockquote>
| |
| | |
| == Why it was originally closed source ==
| |
| | |
| Before becoming open source, kuz had previously defended his choice of keeping the software closed source by saying:
| |
| <blockquote>''You think just because somethings open source means people will contribute?'' [...] ''Kokonotsuba may not be the fastest but its definitely special, it has alot of cool features which make the boards that use it unique. The fact only a select few sites can use it contributes to those sites value in a special way.'' [...] ''If it was open source, it'd lose so much charm. Its ours. We can build it for ourselves.''</blockquote>
