Bonfire is built by communities, for communities. Rooted in autonomy, mutual care, and collective power. Co-create your tools, reclaim your data, and resist manipulation by shaping your own federated digital spaces.

@meljoann @radiofreefedi yeah it’s a pity we still didn’t found a way to focus on RFF pilot! We are trying to get the 1.0 out and at same time find sustainability to pay ourselves and onboard new devs among other things. Maybe applying to a grant to develop the needed features could be a way to push this forward? Happy to chat more about it…
If Mosaic sounds like a solution worth exploring—or you're simply fed up with the unpredictability of profit-driven platforms—we’d love to chat!
Let’s schedule a call: https://calendly.com/bonfire-networks/call to discuss your specific needs and explore how we can collaborate to create the ideal federated digital space for your community or organisation.

Enter Mosaic—a fresh approach to meet today’s needs. In a networked environment, the flow of information between teams, partners, and different layers of collaborators is a key factor for success. It’s no longer about working in isolation; it’s about thriving through connections.
Whether you integrate into the global network or build your own archipelago, the fediverse offers a refreshing alternative to the dystopic enshitification of Big Tech.

Why does it matter?
Because yesterday, we used to work in companies. Today, we thrive in networks.
Today an organisation’s success hinges not only on internal efficiency but also on how effectively it can communicate and flourish within a broader network of relationships, partnerships, and collaborations. Unfortunately, most platforms just aren’t designed for this. They are stuck in the past, limiting what organisations can achieve.

Mosaic is a service where the Bonfire team collaborates with you to co-design and build a bespoke online presence that serves as a hybrid between a traditional website and a social networking platform—going well beyond merely sharing pictures or short posts. Depending on your specific needs, we will include Bonfire extensions to facilitate all kinds of information sharing, community building, and collaboration.

We’re excited to launch Mosaic: a new initiative from the Bonfire team that empowers organisations by creating their own customised and federated digital space - built just for them.

Super felici di raccontarvi di più e immaginare modi per collaborare insieme!
@enzoesco @fediverso puntiamo allo 0.001% con l'integrazione dell antani prematurato...
@oliphant@oliphant.social archipelago networks are the best alternative we've seen to the growing Silicon Valley movement around network states and popup cities 🔥
🔥 Part 3 of our LiveView Native journey is live! 🎉
https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/dev_diary_lvn_3/
We're adding navigation to our Bonfire app.
In this article, we dive into implementing TabView and Toolbar, building navigation components, and programmatically editing the toolbar based on the active tab.
🔥 Let's prototype some native components in #LiveViewNative
In this entry we dig into modifiers and styles, building some of the most used components in any app, such as Modals and Menus.

Got access to a couple already, thanks anyway!
@mro @gotosocial much appreciated! hope you don't mind a few random test posts on the local/federated timelines?
@dumpsterqueer much appreciated! will let you know how it goes 🤞
@raspbeguy much appreciated! if you don't mind a few random test posts on the local/federated timelines?
@dumpsterqueer yeah may do that if I find any issues that need further debugging (though ideally that'd be facilitated through one of the fedi testing projects * since we're testing with dozen+ different apps...) but just want to quickly test some simple user flows manually first

Does anyone run an instance of @gotosocial that we could join to test federation interop? 🙏
Edit: we now have one, thanks everyone! ❤️
Bonfire is being featured in Che-Fare, an Italian magazine focused on social innovation.
We wrote about our vision of building social networks as digital commons!
