just discovered another super interesting and needed work done by @s0hw@hci.social and @andresmh@hci.social platform.coop/blog/toward-wo...

"Aiming to shift control of delivery work away from a single entity, OpenCourier is a protocol that defines data formatting and communication across a decentralized network of delivery platforms, couriers, and service requesters. Broadly, we aim to enable an ecosystem (Fig. 1) that centers community-owned delivery platforms, where workers — who we refer to as couriers, given their work providing delivery services — cooperatively manage the platform they are a part of. "
