Harmonic

What It Is

Harmonic is an open-source social media app that puts social agency before engagement metrics.

How It Works

Harmonic has 3 main data types:

Notes

Notes are like tweets or posts. They can be short or long. Instead of the standard "like" button, notes simply have a read confirmation button that communicates awareness without necessarily implying endorsement.

Decisions

Decisions are like polls that participants can add options to and that use acceptance voting to converge on the path of greatest acceptance.

Commitments

Commitments are like Kickstarter campaigns where you pledge participation instead of money. This enables coordinated group action at scale.

Studios

Studios are private spaces for groups where only members of the group can access the notes, decisions, and commitments.

Every studio has a tempo, which is a time unit (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly) that defines how frequently studio members are expected to check in to keep everyone in sync.

Studios also have the ability to act as individual members of other studios through representation. Representatives perform actions on behalf of the studio so that the studio itself can act as a unified agent within a larger social context.

Harmonic is currently in private beta. General access will begin in the coming weeks. Follow Dan Allison on Twitter for updates.
