Become a sponsor to Understory
In a world of walled gardens, roam free.
We're tired of our data being walled off into third-party siloes. It's time to reclaim the power of our data and create a stable home for our identities online.
Organize your knowledge.
Understory believes that developing ideas is a never-ending, continuous journey. We don't think in terms of linear connection, polished writing, and "published" ideas, so why are we building our web content this way?
You are unique — your online identity should be too. Social media boxes us into prescriptive ideas of who we are to make it easier to collect advertising revenue, while exploiting your data in the process. We make it easier to express yourself in a way that you design, in a way that you control.
Organize, Together.
Our brains work better together. That's why we're building a knowledge management system that allows you to collaborate and share ideas across organizations. No more silos, no more walls.
Communities are the heartbeat of our world, and we think every community deserves the tools they need to rally people around a shared vision.
Together, we start to see the whole picture
Understory combines the power of lightweight web-publishing with co-operative data ownership made possible by Solid, creating a whole new way to access and build the web that's accessible to everyone regardless of their ability to write code.
3 sponsors have funded understory-garden’s work.
