Our Values

The principles that guide everything we do

🌐

Open & Transparent

All our code is open source and publicly available. We believe in radical transparency and community-driven development. Every decision, every line of code, every financial transaction is open for scrutiny.

  • All code on GitHub under OSI-approved licenses
  • Public board meetings and decision logs
  • Transparent financial reporting
  • Community voting on major decisions

Privacy First

We build tools that respect user privacy by default. No tracking, no data selling, no compromises. Privacy isn't a featureβ€”it's the foundation.

  • Zero data collection by default
  • End-to-end encryption where possible
  • No third-party trackers
  • Transparent data policies

Accessible to All

Technology should be free and accessible to everyone, regardless of background or financial status. We prioritize accessibility in all our projects.

  • Free forever with no premium tiers
  • WCAG 2.1 AA compliance standard
  • Multi-language support
  • Low-bandwidth optimizations
🌱

Community Driven

Our projects are built by volunteers around the world who share our vision for a better internet. The community leads, we facilitate.

  • Community-elected maintainers
  • Mentorship programs for new contributors
  • Regular community calls and events
  • Recognition programs for contributors

  • Bias testing in AI/ML components
  • Sustainable infrastructure choices
