Announcing the Bonfire Social 1.0 Release Candidate

After a long stretch of co-design, development, and reflection, we’re excited to share the Bonfire Social 1.0 Release Candidate β€” a version ready for real-world testing and feedback before the official 1.0 release.

What if social networks served people in all their diverse complexity β€” instead of the streamlined simplicity of big platforms?

Bonfire Social is our first app: built for meaningful connection and conversation – community-governed spaces you can make your own.

It’s part of a modular framework that empowers communities to build the tools they need β€” and shape how they work and feel.

It will take some effort to make 'social' actually be social and its not going to happen by iterating for the n-th time on twitter.

So bonfire has a fighting chance, godspeed.
