Truly Open Social Network

Free and open-source social network built with and steered by the community.

What is OpenDolphin?

OpenDolphin is a project whose goal is to build an open-source social network.

Our ambition is to let the project be controlled entirely by the community in all of its parts (ideas, design, coordination, ...) with the objective of becoming the best competitor to the mainstream social networks (e.g: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram).

Where is the demo?

Visit app.opendolphin.social and enjoy the live demo.
We're still building the product and we'd like to have your contribution / feedback.
Since this is a community effort, the product will improve over time and you'll be soon able to join the product as an user.

How is it different from Mastodon / GNU social?

OpenDolphin aims at being a centralized social network to overcome some of the issues of the decentralized social networks.
Our goal is to keep everything transparent (from the develoment process to the content moderation), and let the people control everything.

How do I participate in the project?

Introduce yourself in this GitHub issue and/or join our Slack instance!
You can also share this website with anyone you might think will be able to contribute!

Do you have a GitHub organization?

Of course, and you are invited to collaborate.

Do you have a roadmap?

We're building one, although we need more people to join in order to define the product better and choose how we want to build the product.

Why the dolphin? 🐬

Because they're smart and cute - but as with everything in this project, if you don't like it / have a better idea for the brand (for example, a different name, a different logo, ...) you can help us out by contributing to this repository.

You don't like the name? It's anyways temporary - help us find a better one in the brand repository
