Create your knowledge base:

Infrastructure for collective intelligence

Most collaboration tools concentrate identity, information, and interaction inside one provider. Seed lets communities create autonomous spaces that can still connect and collaborate across a shared network.

Verifiable authorship

Every contribution is associated with a verifiable identity and digitally signed from the author’s device. Authorship can be verified without relying on Seed as a central authority.

Seed never has accessed to your key. You can spin up your own identity server.

Connected ideas

Documents are local-first and stay on your devices, but they do not live in isolation. Seed Hypermedia is an open hypermedia system for the web where ideas can be linked, cited, discussed, reused, with links that will never brake.

Unbreakable, bidirectional, fine-grain links are the building blocks to build upon the knowledge base of your working group or community.

Local collective memory

In Seed, Collective Memory do not depend on central servers.

Documents and conversations can be stored and replicated across the computers, devices, and servers that form a community. Its knowledge does not have to disappear when one provider or account disappears.

Community control

Communities decide where their information lives, how it is shared, who can participate, and which rules organize collaboration.

Seed enables building sovereign digital spaces. No more gatekeeprs that take your digital rights and limit human collaboration.

Use cases

Built for communities developing knowledge over time

Research communities
Connect papers, notes, discussions, authors, and evolving research questions.

Open-source projects
Keep technical decisions, documentation, discussions, and contributors connected.

Learning communities
Build shared bodies of knowledge in which sources, interpretations, and conversations remain visible.

Civic and professional networks

Free and open source

Seed Hypermedia is designed in two parts. Seed is the Open Source software developed by our team, while Hypermedia is the open protocol that enhances the web to build trust and collaboration.

Because our desktop app and server are Open Source, developers can join our community to expand the product for their needs. Anyone can participate in the hypermedia protocol and extend it beyond the current capabilities.
