Open-source tools, knowledge systems, and coordination infrastructure — free for all of humanity. The not-just-engineering equivalent of the open-source movement.
// knowledge as a birthright · tools that make people independent · coordinating as a superorganism
Humanity Infrastructure is a hub of knowledge resources and open-source tools — built to bring flourishing into every person's reach. We envision something most of the developed world eventually becomes part of, to a greater or lesser degree.
Survival and thriving guides, medical know-how, open curricula, role-model casting, the craftsmanship of software. Shouldn't tools from 10 years ago be free by now?
Open reputation systems, collective-action infrastructure, personal-leverage automation, assistive tech. Hacked-together infrastructure that helps people help themselves.
Guilds taking on epic quests. Global sense-making. Volunteerism and philanthropy for everyone — ways to pitch in on the problems that matter, together.
From "how to thrive as a highly sensitive person on a budget" to "how to rebuild society from scratch." Compassionate, practical, and free.
Free and open. Use them today — and help build the rest.
Translate any text into Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication. How can AI make us more compassionate?
A universal knowledge graph — the "codex" backend. Capture, connect, and query human know-how with per-node privacy.
GitHub for LLM wikis. Hosting for open, agent-native markdown knowledge bases — forkable, shareable, version-controlled.
Open list & note publishing with a REST API and two-way git sync. Home of the open-lists movement.
A public issue tracker for civic and shared problems — a bottom-up list of what's broken, and who's fixing it.
An open idea bank — projects, hackathon ideas, and easily-solvable world problems, free for anyone to take and build.
Collaborative AI–human exploration of open problems — guilds working the quests, Polymath-style.
Open guide to AI-assisted coding — making the craftsmanship of software buildable by everyone.
"We need these tools, all of them, and to be honest with you, they need to be in the hands of everybody… When humans come into guilds to do epic quests, they're problem-solving, they're inventing a solution. That's how this planet's going to get fixed." — Jack Park, on guilds & global sense-making
The infrastructure for human flourishing is mostly not built yet. Below is the running list — ideas, works-in-progress, and what's done. See one you want to build? Claim it.
This list is open. Add an idea or claim one on the Missing Civilization Infrastructure board — or email jacobcole4000@gmail.com.
These ideas are filed as real, public issues on the World Issue Tracker. Vote, discuss, or claim one to build — updates in real time.
Humanity Infrastructure is an open, growing project. These are the canonical sources. Add yourself, add a project, add a resource.
This project is open to contributors, builders, and anyone who believes the tools for flourishing should be free. Pick a quest, claim an idea, or just use the tools and tell others.
