Co-Creation & Knowledge

Decentralized Application Attributes

Origins Nostr / Community platforms (Coracle Social extends their Nostr client lineage into community platform tooling; motivated by desire for branded, self-sovereign community spaces without centralized platform ownership)
Database Nostr relays (distributed event storage; operator-run relays for data sovereignty)
Query Language Nostr event queries (subscription filters via WebSocket to relays)
Data Formats Nostr events (NIP-compliant JSON event objects); NIP-17 (DMs); NIP-57 (zaps); calendar event NIPs; group NIPs
Collaborative Live Editing N/A (no real-time collaborative document editing)
Rich Text Editing Basic (thread and chat text; no rich media editing environment)
Mobile Support Yes (iOS App Store and Google Play)
Web Support Yes (app.flotilla.social web app)
Native Apps Yes (iOS and Android native apps)
Terms Freemium (free to use; demo/booking for white-label instances; pricing unconfirmed)
Funds Undisclosed
Based On Nostr (Fed Pro — event routing and identity layer); Coracle (predecessor Nostr client by same team)
Use Case Category Community platform / Social networking
User Interface Type Tabbed feed / Dashboard (groups, events, chat, threads, zaps; white-labeled with custom branding)
Offline Capabilities Partial (Nostr events cached locally; relay-dependent for new content)
Collaboration Features Group chat rooms; event calendars; threaded discussions; web of trust; custom access policies; private messages; zaps
Data Portability High (Nostr keypair-based identity portable across all Nostr clients; data on operator relays)
Integration Ecosystem Nostr ecosystem (any NIP-compatible relay or client); Bitcoin/Lightning (zaps via NIP-57)
Web2 Data Export No
Prosocial Coherence High (white-labeled communities without platform lock-in; operator-run relays; web of trust for sybil resistance; no ads or algorithmic manipulation)
Economic Flows Yes (Bitcoin zaps via Lightning Network — NIP-57; direct creator monetization)
Governance & Decision Making Community-governed (custom access policies per instance; operator controls relay and feature set; web of trust informs membership)
Media / Publishing Yes (threads, posts, event announcements; shared within community instances)
Knowledge Management No (no structured knowledge base)
Sensemaking Partial (web of trust surfaces trusted community members; no structured sensemaking tools)
Project Management Partial (event calendar coordination; no task/project management)
Communication Model Asynchronous + real-time (chat rooms; threads; event coordination)
Network Resilience High (operator-run relays; Nostr's distributed relay network; no single point of failure; censorhip resistant by protocol design)
Discovery Mechanism Web of trust; relay-based discovery; keyword search
Max Participants Unlimited (relay-dependent)
Data Sovereignty High (user-owned Nostr keypair; operator-controlled relay; no centralized platform custody)
