# Tanemaki 種まき
|
|
|
|
*A local-first, decentralized app for managing and sharing traditional seeds and seedlings.*
|
|
|
|
**Tanemaki** (種まき, "to sow / scatter seeds" in Japanese; short name **Tane**, 種 "seed") 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 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). Tanemaki 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. 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.
