Group Income

Aplicativo Descentralizado Extensível

Decentralized, end-to-end encrypted group coordination platform built around a basic-income mechanism: groups pool a "mincome" and members in surplus contribute to those in need. Has matured into a richer collaboration suite with E2EE chat, audio/video players, polls, file sharing, message drafts, group governance, and per-channel notification settings. Built on the Chelonia framework, which okTurtles is progressively factoring out as a reusable substrate for building E2EE collaborative apps

Origens okTurtles Foundation
Banco de Dados Chelonia content-addressed encrypted log storage on home server; IndexedDB / browser storage for local cache; ephemeral state in app memory
Linguagem de Consulta N/A — Chelonia API exposes contract operations; no SQL-style query layer
Formatos de Dados JSON; SBP (Selector-Based Programming) message protocol

Edição de Texto Rico Markdown rendering in chat messages with table support
Suporte Móvel Progressive Web App (responsive web client)
Suporte Web Yes (primary delivery channel)
Aplicativos Nativos No (PWA only)
Termos Open source AGPL-3.0; official server at groupincome.app provided as a free service
Fundos Unknown — okTurtles Foundation publishes annual receipts (e.g., FY2022: $11,122 + 4.49 BTC + 132.91 XMR + 34.73 ZEC) but does not break out a per-project Group Income allocation
Baseado Em Chelonia framework (E2EE federated app protocol developed by okTurtles); Shelter Protocol
Ferramentas de Desenvolvimento Chelonia framework exposes contract API for building E2EE collaborative apps; chel CLI for Chelonia development; documented at okTurtles foundation resources
Opções de Implantação Self-host (any group can run own Group Income server on Node.js infrastructure); use official groupincome.app instance
Autenticação e Identidade Username + password (Chelonia-based scheme designed to be more secure than typical web logins per okTurtles)
Modelo de Armazenamento Server stores encrypted blobs; clients decrypt locally with user-held keys
Interoperabilidade Built on Chelonia framework which okTurtles positions as reusable substrate for other E2EE collaborative apps
Grafo Social Group-bounded — membership graph within each group is private to members; no public follow/follower model; intentional privacy-first design
Categoria de Caso de Uso Mutual aid; group coordination; basic-income / income-sharing collectives; collaborative communication
Tipo de Interface de Usuário Web app (PWA); responsive UI with redesigned settings menus and dashboard
Capacidades Offline Limited — message drafts preserved across channel switches; loaded media cached to avoid redundant downloads
Recursos de Colaboração E2EE chat, audio/video player, polls, file attachments, draft messages, @-mentions, channel notifications, group governance
Portabilidade de Dados Self-hostable server (Chelonia-based); user data is encrypted with user-held keys
Ecossistema de Integração Fediverse social presence (Group Income on Crib.social); GitHub Discussions forum; Slack community; minimal third-party integrations because E2EE design constrains external connectors
Exportação de Dados da Web2 Not specified
Coerência Pró-social Strong — mutual aid framing; mincome-based wealth redistribution within groups; cooperative governance assumptions; nonprofit (okTurtles Foundation) stewardship
Fluxos Econômicos Mincome (basic-income) pooling and redistribution among group members; surplus contributors fund members in need
Governança e Tomada de Decisão Group-level proposals and voting; configurable group settings
Mídia / Publicação E2EE media within groups (video, audio, file attachments); not a public publishing platform
Gestão do Conhecimento Chat-anchored — markdown messages, file attachments, search within group; not a structured knowledge base tool
Sensemaking Limited — polls and voting support group decisions; no dedicated sensemaking primitives
Gestão de Projetos Limited — group coordination through chat and polls; no dedicated kanban/task system
Modelo de Comunicação E2EE group chat with channels; @-mentions; reply threading
Resiliência de Rede Server-based with E2EE; clients can in principle move between Chelonia-compatible servers
Mecanismo de Descoberta Group invites (link-based); username-based mention lookup
Participantes Máximos Designed for small-to-medium mutual-aid groups; tested with multi-user E2E tests
Soberania de Dados High — E2EE means server cannot read content; private keys held by users
