# Plantare
|
|
|
|
*A local-first, decentralized app for managing and sharing traditional seeds and seedlings.*
|
|
|
|
Plantare 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. The goal is both practical and political: to support traditional seed varieties and push back against the seed monopoly.
|
|
|
|
The name and spirit come from the paper **Plantare** — a "community currency for seed exchange", a bearer IOU passed hand to hand, created by BAH-Semillero (2009, CC-BY-SA). This app is the digital Plantare.

## Status
|
|
|
|
Early design. See [`PLAN.md`](PLAN.md) for the full analysis and roadmap (in Spanish). The valuable prior work lives in [`docs/mockups/`](docs/mockups/).
|
|
|
|
## Principles
|
|
|
|
- **Local-first.** Works fully offline, no account, no central server. The app stays useful even if no one maintains it.
|
|
- **Decentralized.** Identity is a keypair you own; sharing rides on open protocols (Nostr / ActivityPub), 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.
