The inclusion MR was merged on 2026-07-25 and the app page went live on 2026-07-28 (v0.1.16, no antifeatures), so the landing page can finally offer both stores. - site: publish the F-Droid link and give each store link a single-colour icon, so the two are told apart by shape (play triangle vs. the free-software robot) rather than by brand colour. The badge row is a flex row now: left-aligned in the hero, centred under "Get Tane". - README: an Install section with both stores, and a Status that matches reality (Block 1 shipped, Block 2 under way) instead of "early design". - release.md: record that the app is published, that further releases only need a versionCode bump in the fdroiddata recipe, and that publication lags the green build by a day or two. - open-decisions.md: log what unblocked inclusion — reproducible developer-signed builds, a Google-free APK, and opt-in networking.

# Tane 種
|
|
|
|
*A local-first, decentralized app for managing and sharing traditional seeds and seedlings.*
|
|
|
|
**Tane** (種, "seed" in Japanese) helps people and collectives keep a friendly inventory of their seed bank, decide what they offer, and share it locally — without a central intermediary that could control, censor, or be fined for it. Its name comes from **tanemaki** (種まき), "to sow / scatter seeds". The goal is both practical and political: to support traditional seed varieties and push back against the seed monopoly.
|
|
|
|
The name honors the old Japanese mutual-aid traditions around rice — *yui* (shared community labor) and *tanomoshi* (reciprocity funds) — that inspired the paper **Plantare**, the "community currency for seed exchange" (BAH-Semillero, 2009, CC-BY-SA). Tane is the digital Plantare.

## Install
|
|
|
|
Android, same signature in both stores — you can switch between them without reinstalling:
|
|
|
|
- **F-Droid**: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.comunes.tane/ (reproducible, developer-signed build)
|
|
- **Google Play**: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.comunes.tane
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Block 1 (inventory) is shipped and in beta; Block 2 (the social layer) is under way. See [`PLAN.md`](PLAN.md) for the full analysis and roadmap (in Spanish) and [`docs/design/open-decisions.md`](docs/design/open-decisions.md) for the live decision log. The valuable prior work lives in [`docs/mockups/`](docs/mockups/).

## Principles
|
|
|
|
- **Local-first.** Works fully offline, no account, no central server. Stays useful even if no one maintains it.
|
|
- **Decentralized.** Identity is a single key you own (Duniter/Ğ1-style, with a derived subkey for transport); sharing rides on open protocols (Nostr), with optional interoperability with the Ğ1/Duniter web of trust and currency. Never a central marketplace.
|
|
- **Free/libre.** Copyleft software, open data formats, multilingual from day one.
|
|
- **Layered.** Inventory -> Offer -> Local sharing -> Web of trust. Each layer is useful on its own.
|
|
|
|
## Conventions
|
|
|
|
**English is the project language for all code.** Identifiers, class/field/column names, code comments, commit messages, branch names, and technical documents (data model, schemas) are written in English, without exception. This keeps the project contributable by anyone, anywhere.
|
|
|
|
- User-facing strings are **never hardcoded** — they go through i18n (the app itself is multilingual by design).
|
|
- Planning and discussion documents may be written in Spanish (e.g. `PLAN.md`, `docs/design/data-notes.md`); technical specs that feed code are in English (e.g. `docs/design/data-model.md`).
|
|
- Database schema changes ship as versioned Drift migrations (`drift_schemas/`), one new version per change, never editing a released version. See `docs/design/data-model.md` §5.
