Roomy is a group messaging app that gives online communities tools for autonomous collaboration — designable, gardenable spaces not just for chat, but for cultivating a web of shared understanding together. Roomy is built with AT Protocol and our bespoke event-sourcing sync system, Leaf. See this blog post to understand a bit about how this project is developed and where we are now.
Content fluidity: In Roomy, every communication artifact can be expanded seamlessly from chat message up to a wiki-page or even standalone channel. Chatty message gardening
Auto-documenting: Every page, every thread, every post in Roomy is fundamentally a type of document. Any single chat message, or a series of them strung together, can at any point be 'transitioned' into the first draft of a Documentation Page.
Bring your own ID: Login with Bluesky (default) (soon also Mastodon, GitHub...). Extend your existing social profile with Roomy. Digital Homeownership
Bluesky-connected: Roomy is optionally connected with the Bluesky network of 30M people. Make a Roomy-space for any ATProto (including Bluesky) account.
Roomy is a spiritual sibling of Commune. The same core concepts of 'digital gardening applied to group messaging' apply.
