The Commonplace Community Operating System.

commonplace

Welcome to the Commonplace monorepo, where all modules of the Commonplace platform will live.

The Commonplace platform is based on the PVD Things software suite, but will evolve into a modular community operating system for the web.

The "social network" of the past two decades is dying. People are tired of befriending accounts and speaking with avatars. It's time for a software platform that facilitates REAL social networks to form within and between our communities.

More to come.
