Providing a suite of always-free tools for identifying issues in the world that need to be solved and for coordinating the action to solve them, Magnova provides digital infrastructure that people need to govern themselves without money, exploitation, or repression of liberty.\n\nMany people are alienated by problems they feel powerless to address. The powerful entities that do exist, like large corporations and governments, are actually responsible for many of those problems, so it is unrealistic to depend on them to fix them. If we, The People, want to make the world more livable for all, then it falls on us to organize by creating a new system. Instead of copying the strategies of our exploiters, Magnova offers a completely new method for making things happen. It arose from the earnest question: \"How could the management of an evolving, complex society be handled entirely with direct participatory democracy?\"\n\nHow does it work?\n\nMagnova is an ecosystem of organizing action using grassroots and democratic principles. When it is fully developed, it will provide tools for different steps of mass action: identifying Issues in the world and their connections, designing Projects to address them, dividing Projects into Tasks that individuals can do, deploying Projects to different Locations, sharing and distributing Resources, and collecting Formulas for producing new Resources.\n\n\nMagnova's Issue-Project-Task pipeline is a radical re-envisioning of the flow of human labor. It crowdsources each step of the problem-solving process to democratize humanity in a way that's impossible through social media and existing infrastructure. By offering grassroots management tools catering to social-profit production and services, it replaces the profit incentive with non-transactional mutual aid. Most organizations handle the division of labor by having a rich person or social elite tell employees what to do. Instead, we provide a method for communities to collectively figure out the work that needs to be done and coordinate voluntary action.\n\nHow will your support be utilized?\n\nOur main need is to migrate the front end to sveltekit and boost the platform's user experience and interaction. We would like to get enough funding to set aside time from one of our volunteer day jobs to dedicate some full-time hours to implementing this. \n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "MagnovaCarta"}
