Towns are open · Walk one without an account

A colony builds
better than
a feed.

Communities don’t need another timeline. They need a place — somewhere the work is visible, the people are present, and progress is something you can walk up to and read.

No account · No card · The town is already running


THE REPO

01From empty lot to town

Three steps to somewhere real.

The whole point is that it's standing before you've finished explaining it to anyone.

01

Found the town

Name it, pick its districts, and it's standing. No servers to wire, no feed to seed, no empty channels waiting to be filled.

02

Cut the keys

Invite people with role-scoped keys. Who can build, who can moderate, who's just visiting — decided at the gate, not in a settings maze.

03

Watch it fill

Members walk in and you can see them: who's in the square, who's heads-down in the workshop, what the repo did this week.

02Project Studio

Your repo's pulse, on the wall.

Point a zone at any public GitHub repo. The Studio reads its last twelve weeks of commits, who's contributing, and which branches are moving — then draws it as a board your members walk up to and read together.

03Why a place

The best communities have always been somewhere.

A clubhouse, a workshop, a corner table. The internet replaced them with a scroll and called it a community. This gives yours a there.

The feed

The town

An endless scroll you consume alone

A place you arrive at, with people already there

Presence is a green dot next to a name

Presence is someone standing across the square

The work lives in a tab somewhere else

The work is on the wall, where the people are

Louder posts win

Proximity wins — you talk to who you're near

04On the drawing board

Planned

Where the colony goes next.

Ideas we're weighing, shown here as sketches rather than promises. Nothing on this row is built — if one of them is the reason you'd found a town, that's worth telling us.

LivePlanned

The commit trail

Merge a pull request and an ant carries it across the town square in real time. Your members don't read a changelog — they watch the work arrive.

PresencePlanned

Working right now

Members who are heads-down show as lit windows in their workshop. Not a status you set — a signal the town emits, so you can see where the energy is.

RitualPlanned

The weekly gather

The town rings a bell on your cadence and everyone's avatar walks to the square. A standing appointment with a place, not another calendar invite.

StructurePlanned

Districts that earn themselves

A zone only appears once the community actually needs it. The town grows in step with the group instead of shipping empty rooms on day one.

CraftPlanned

The gallery

A hall for what the colony makes — shipped work, hung on walls. The AIA double reading, taken literally: arts as well as ants.

MemoryPlanned

The archive

Every town keeps its own history — who founded it, what shipped, what was decided. Walk the archive and read the colony back to itself.


Give them somewhere
to be.

Found a colony in under a minute — or walk a town first and decide afterwards. No card either way.
