Civic.Social

Aplicativo Descentralizado

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 .

Detalhes

Licença 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
Status de Dev 📝 Rascunho
Detalhe do Status de Dev 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')
Proprietário 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
Órgão de Governança 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
Financiamento Not stated by the project.

Aplicativo Descentralizado Atributos

Origens 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)
Banco de Dados Postgres 17 behind PostgREST in the reference hub backend
Linguagem de Consulta REST through PostgREST in the reference hub; activities use an ActivityStreams 2.0 profile
Formatos de Dados ActivityStreams 2.0 profile with a planned, unpublished Civic JSON-LD context; SD-JWT VC credentials (required), W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0, Bitstring Status List
Edição Colaborativa em Tempo Real Not stated by the project.
Edição de Texto Rico Not stated by the project.
Suporte Móvel Not stated by the project.
Suporte 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
Aplicativos Nativos Not stated by the project.
Termos 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
Fundos Not stated by the project.
Baseado Em 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
Categoria de Caso de Uso Social Network and Collaboration: civic spaces, deliberation and participation, citizen identity
Tipo de Interface de Usuário Not stated by the project (hub front end not readable).
Capacidades Offline Not stated by the project.
Recursos de Colaboração Civic Spaces, a Civic Process plugin, an activity feed and discovery, a citizen dashboard and civic credentialing are specified or drafted; a Polis integration is used for deliberation
Portabilidade de Dados 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
Ecossistema de Integração A plugin architecture for civic processes, hub-to-hub pull interoperation, and planned ActivityPub and AT Protocol bridges
Exportação de Dados da Web2 Not stated by the project.
Coerência Pró-social Deliberation through a Polis integration, an AI moderation strategy document, and a trust registry for issuers; the governance mechanism for the initiative is not yet built
Fluxos Econômicos None described.
Governança e Tomada de Decisão A single nonprofit steward for the initial deployment; the project says the nonprofit intent is stated but the governance mechanism is not yet built; a governance pilot is in final review
Mídia / Publicação No
Gestão do Conhecimento No
Sensemaking Yes: deliberation through Polis
Gestão de Projetos No
Modelo de Comunicação Asynchronous: activity feeds and hub-to-hub pull; push delivery (inbox and outbox) is specified at conformance Level 2 and not yet implemented
Resiliência de Rede Partial: federation is optional and hubs interoperate by pull; data export keeps spaces portable between engines at Level B (a pilot target)
Mecanismo de Descoberta A discovery layer and an activity feed are specified; hubs are found through their sites
Participantes Máximos Not stated by the project.
Soberania de Dados Hybrid: key custody is managed by default with self-custody available; the v0.1 design does not provide cross-context unlinkability
