We build technology for the communities around us

We are a group of professionals with backgrounds in technology, economics, psychology and social work. We work on problems of local communities, with technology as an important tool.

We build software at community scale. We adhere to the principles of tech sovereignty, with community control of its data, compute and usage.

Work

• 2026BuildInLimeA collaboration platform for natural builders and architects, designed out of our own experience building a natural home.
• 2026RachchaBandaAn AI-assisted system, and the tools around it, to accommodate more nuanced public discourse and opinion sharing on matters related to the local community.

Notes

• Jul 2026Tech sovereignty as a principled way of solving technical problemsCommunity control of data, compute and usage is not only an ethical position. It is a design constraint, and it produces better answers to ordinary engineering questions.
• Jun 2026How community-based technology solutions can be sustainableCommunity-scale software fails at the handover, not the build. What it takes for a tool to still be running in a village three years after the grant ends.
