Civic.Social

Aplicación Descentralizada

A civic technology initiative that says it is building open, federated infrastructure for community governance and civic participation: places for communities to gather and decide (Civic Spaces and Civic Hubs), a process layer, an activity feed and a citizen identity layer. Its four specifications are separate entries in this matrix (Civic Space, Civic Process, Civic Activity and Civic Identity). This entry covers the platform they describe: the specifications are drafts, and a reference hub backend is published under a source-available licence .

Detalles

Licencia Mixed: specifications and documents CC-BY-4.0; the reference hub backend is BSL 1.1 (production use needs a separate licence from the licensor; it converts to Apache-2.0 on 2030-04-19); the river and greenfield-starter repositories are AGPL-3.0
Estado de Desarrollo 📝 Borrador
Detalle del Estado de Desarrollo Draft (the specifications are working drafts, v0.1 to v0.2; a reference hub backend is published and, per its README, Civic.Social runs sample hubs on it, but the project's phasing document calls the pilots 'not built yet')
Propietario Civic.Social, described as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit initiative; the reference hub backend names the Mosaic Foundation as its licensor, and the documents do not say that the two are the same legal entity
Órgano de Gobierno A single nonprofit steward for the initial deployment; the project says its governance mechanism is not yet built (a governance pilot is in final review)
País Not stated by the project.
Stack Reference hub backend: Node 24, Postgres 17, PostgREST 14 (Supabase-compatible), TypeScript, hosted by Civic.Social on Vercel and Supabase; integrations with Polis for deliberation, an AI adapter, and email and monitoring services

Aplicación Descentralizada Atributos

Orígenes A civic technology initiative described as building open, federated infrastructure to connect and amplify the pro-democracy ecosystem; its canon documents set out three horizons (Now, Pilot, Vision)
Base de Datos Postgres 17 behind PostgREST in the reference hub backend
Lenguaje de Consulta REST through PostgREST in the reference hub; activities use an ActivityStreams 2.0 profile
Formatos de Datos ActivityStreams 2.0 profile with a planned, unpublished Civic JSON-LD context; SD-JWT VC credentials (required), W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0, Bitstring Status List
Edición Colaborativa en Vivo Not stated by the project.
Edición de Texto Enriquecido Not stated by the project.
Soporte Móvil Not stated by the project.
Soporte Web A hosted hub web front end is implied by the sample hubs; its pages could not be read, so what it offers is not verified
Aplicaciones Nativas Not stated by the project.
Términos Specifications CC-BY-4.0; reference hub backend BSL 1.1 (production use needs a separate licence); no price or hosted-service terms are stated
Fondos Not stated by the project.
Basado En W3C DID Core and Verifiable Credentials 2.0, SD-JWT VC, OpenID4VCI and OpenID4VP, SIOPv2, ActivityStreams 2.0; ActivityPub is in scope for evaluation and an AT Protocol bridge is an intended later target

Portabilidad de Datos Level A (archival export) is the floor: every space must export; Level B (continuity) is the pilot target; Level C (live state) is a v1.0 objective that needs a plugin-state export contract that does not exist yet; citizens must be able to migrate between account providers
Ecosistema de Integraciones A plugin architecture for civic processes, hub-to-hub pull interoperation, and planned ActivityPub and AT Protocol bridges
Exportación de Datos de Web2 Not stated by the project.

Modelo de Comunicación Asynchronous: activity feeds and hub-to-hub pull; push delivery (inbox and outbox) is specified at conformance Level 2 and not yet implemented
Resiliencia de Red Partial: federation is optional and hubs interoperate by pull; data export keeps spaces portable between engines at Level B (a pilot target)
Mecanismo de Descubrimiento A discovery layer and an activity feed are specified; hubs are found through their sites
Participantes Máximos Not stated by the project.
Soberanía de Datos Hybrid: key custody is managed by default with self-custody available; the v0.1 design does not provide cross-context unlinkability
