what we do

We make tools for people to grow deep dark soil, ecologically and socially.

We build small, interoperable, fully distributed apps that enable groups to access emergent properties for organizing, collaborating, and connecting. We build open source software on Holochain.

We also build tools to increase the accessibility and functionality of the Holochain core codebase.

things we've made

p2p Shipyard

Get your apps shipped out with ease
Peer to peer for all? Yes please!

The p2p Shipyard is a toolset to ship cross-platform p2p apps. It enables holochain apps to target mobile!

holochain playground

a playground place so you can say:
with holochain it's fun to play!

The playground is a suite of tools to simulate, introspect, and play around holochain. It enables developers and architects to see and interact with what's happening behind the scenes.

approach to software

We make it simple for existing groups to make self-sovereign digital spaces that are owned and evolvable by the group itself.

We build software for ourselves and the groups we're a part of, taking care that it be easily adaptable for and by others.

darksoil applications make it easier to see and engage with more nuance and acuity to do/create/have more of what we want with our groups with less administrative burden.

We test our software with our communities; our farms, villages, movement collectives, hackerspaces, businesses, cooperatives, friend groups, etc. We need the things we're building because it's a headache that we don't already have them. When what we build works for our communities, we partner with people to adapt and integrate it to work for their communities.

Sometimes, when we're inspired by the partnership, we make things for others before we make them for ourselves.
