An ADD ideas project CALMER GROUP COORDINATION

Concept · Prototype in development

Keep the group together. Give attention some room.

Comiaunicaty explores a calmer place for groups to organise their everyday work. Announcements, events, tasks and decisions have a place of their own, with conversation alongside them. The aim is to make participation easier without making constant attention a requirement.

The concept

What it is about

Give important information a home

The prototype brings announcements, upcoming events, files and open tasks into a group overview, so useful information has somewhere to stay.

Turn conversation into a next step

An exchange can lead to a task, poll or event. The prototype suggests structured follow-ups; a person chooses whether to create one.

Make participation specific

RSVP to an event, vote in a poll or complete a task. These actions give the group a clearer picture of what has been decided and what still needs a response.

Return to a useful overview

Catch-up views and notification preferences explore how to show relevant changes when someone returns. Calmer communication is the design goal, not a measured promise.

Help groups make the move

Invite joining, migration notes and read-only chat archive imports are part of the prototype. They offer a starting point for a group transition, without claiming a live bridge to other messengers.

The idea in practice

  1. Bring the essentials together

    Give a group a shared place for its announcements, dates, files and responsibilities.

  2. Act in context

    Discuss the issue, then record the event, decision or task where people can find and respond to it.

  3. Catch up on your terms

    Return to the group's relevant changes and open actions, with room to choose what deserves attention.

Current status

From concept to development prototype

The project has a browser-based development prototype. This website presents the direction and invites discussion; a public application or demo is not offered here yet.

  • Group coordination and structured participation are represented in the prototype.
  • Federation remains a goal; the current remote-server aggregation is not federation.
  • A hosted offering, access model and wider release need a separate decision and validation.

A few useful answers

Is Comiaunicaty a chat app?

Conversation is part of the concept. The focus is group coordination: keeping events, tasks, announcements and decisions understandable and easy to return to.

Does federation already work?

No. The prototype can collect selected structured information from connected remote servers. That limited aggregation is distinct from the federation envisioned for the project.

Can our group try it now?

There is no public instance or open registration linked from this page. Tell us about your group and the coordination problems you want to solve; that can help shape the next evaluation.
