Overview

Back User-Powered Systems is a mission to design and sustain technologies where people, not corporations, hold decisive influence. This page explains how contributions support open, auditable, and inclusive systems that empower users to shape policy, safety, and data stewardship. The initiative blends practical tooling with community governance to reduce friction between developers and users while maintaining high standards for privacy and security.

For Back User-Powered Systems, the aim is to build durable infrastructure that centers user agency and shared ownership. The work emphasizes transparent decision-making, modular architectures, and accessible documentation so communities can guide the evolution of the platforms they rely on every day. Your support helps sustain momentum, invest in core development, and expand access across diverse contexts and languages.

Why Your Support Matters

How Donations Are Used

For Back User-Powered Systems, donations are allocated to concrete, trackable activities across a quarterly cycle. A portion funds core software maintenance and security reviews. Another share covers hosting, uptime monitoring, and performance optimization. We also allocate resources for community outreach, translations, and accessibility improvements. Every project line item is documented in public reports, with progress updates posted regularly so supporters can see measurable benefits.

Beyond infrastructure, funds support governance experiments that test new participation models, such as lightweight decision channels and transparent audit trails. We aim to publish open reports at regular intervals that summarize what was built, what worked, and what remains to be learned. The team values accountability and invites questions, feedback, and collaboration from the broader ecosystem. Updates are shared openly to reflect changes and growth in the project’s scope.
