vjrj ea7e3fe04f fix(site): honest decentralization copy — community servers, not 'no server'
The landing claimed seeds spread 'with no server in the middle' and the About
page said people communicate 'directly with each other', while sharing in fact
travels through community relays. Reworded (en/es/pt, docs sources + generated
about pages via build-legal.sh): what you share travels through community
servers run by people and collectives — many of them, anyone can add one, none
a controllable center.

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.

Status

Early design. See PLAN.md for the full analysis and roadmap (in Spanish). The valuable prior work lives in 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.
