We’re excited to present the Open Science Network initiative, a first step towards open and federated digital spaces designed to push the boundaries of open science and scholarly communication.
To better understand the workflow involved in building Bonfire extension from scratch, we implemented a design pattern from the Prosocial Design Network: label misleading content; add links to reliable, related content.
We've spent the past two years building, iterating, experimenting, and refactoring the Bonfire codebase — to explore our assumptions, co-design with our community, and stretch the limits of social networking, all while having fun!
Notes about our latest user testing research to gather feedback and insights on the bonfire composer component.
As we approach v1.0 of Bonfire, we’re looking for volunteers to help us with some user research.

In September we have been invited to present bonfire at the italian privacy week conference. This is the bonfire presentation translated in english.
How will our online experiences be different once we take back control over exactly who should see, interact with, and even collaborate on our content and activities at the most granular level?
Today, the Bonfire team is asking for *your* help with beta testing. Bonfire still needs a lot of work - be it bugs, federation, missing features, configurability and user experience - but that's the point, we decided to launch the playground at this gnarly stage with the specific intention of moving toward the 1.0 release as a community.
In a few days' time we'd like to invite you to experiment with a 'playground' instance of Bonfire, the federated social networking toolkit for communities. Lots of what you'll see in the Bonfire beta will be recognisable from other social and/or federated apps. There is some functionality that may be a little different with Bonfire as well.
We're now days away from the beta release of Bonfire, a federated app toolkit. When beta users get their hands on it, however, they might be confused wait, this looks like just another microblogging app! haven't we already got enough of those?
On May 10th we published a toot asking for volunteers to dive into our upcoming beta of Bonfire Social, by participating in some usability testing sessions.
One thing I’ve learned from spending all of my adult life online and being involved in lots of innovation projects is that you can have the best bookmarking system in the world, but it means nothing if you don’t do something with the stuff you’ve bookmarked...

We are pleased to announce that Bonfire has been awarded a grant from the Culture of Solidarity Fund to support cross-border cultural initiatives of solidarity in times of uncertainty and "infodemic".
As we’re approaching a new phase in which bonfire is not anymore a chimera among few devs, but it’s starting to come together as a nice tool, some of us are anxious to make raids in the analogic world and spread the big news...
Bonfire:UI:Social is an extension that includes the main User Interfaces (both assembled pages and single components) required to have a fully working federated social network app
Dopamine and attention manipulation are not inherent properties of a social network. It is time to reconsider some fundamental questions.
We are building a coordination tool that shares a lot of functionality with most to-do apps out there. But how is it different?
