Issues like the API costs mentioned in this article drove us to create co-op owned, open source SaaS solutions.

Here are our first rough thoughts on the peer review flow. Hit us up if you have any thoughts on what should be on those empty pages. tinyurl.com/ausp32fm #buildinpublic #sociocracy #workplacedemocracy #opensource #SaaS

8 hours after sketching out the API we have the first eight API endpoints working with Swagger specs and Postman tests.

These are the Sociocracy Quick Starts we'll be fleshing out over the next few weeks. We'll then implement features in the web app to support those same practices.

What could be more raw than #buildinpublic? How about #dogfooding in public? We're committed to using the artifacts we create at each stage and this is the first document with our internal answers. Still working on the #drivers.
