This app is a window into data that you and your friends own, focused on gifts and collaboration.
What is the idea here?
We are building networks of people who want to grow a giving society. First of all, you can see what people have given, and also recognize gifts you've seen, in a way that leaves a permanent record -- one that came from you, and the recipient can prove it was for them. This is personally gratifying, but it extends to broader work: volunteers get confirmation of activity, and selectively show off their contributions and network.
You can show giving and also offer help to ideas, based on others' willingness to help out, too. You can record your own ideas and invite others to collaborate.
This app uses the power of cryptography to build a reputation, recording activity that you can share at your discretion. You put some activity public, but your sensitive information is not shared with anyone, including our services. This is in contrast to Meta and Google, who hold your data and allow you use it. Those services are useful, but they have the control; this app gives you the control.

about this app, on the Contacts
Note that there are rate limits to how many others you can register, so it may take some time to register everyone you want. Take your time... make it an opportunity to get to know their projects, and show your own.

I know there is a record from someone, so why can't I see that info?
If you don't see anything associated with a person, this is typically
because they have not given you permission to see their information. Ask
them to add you to their contact list, and ask specifically to make sure
the eye next to your name is open like this
Sometimes the reason you don't see something is because the search results are limited. Go to the bottom and make sure to load all the data on a list. If you still don't see it, try a search or view on a different page.
