Apps for Matriarchy

​Apps for Matriarchy is a small group of people building the tools they wish existed… instead of waiting for them.

This month we're building (live!) a Collaborative Book writing app that turns free-flowing conversations into organized chapters.

This event is a supportive space for **non-technical** people!

You carry a sense of a more prosperous world. This becomes the raw material, and through the strange efficiency of what is now called “vibe coding,” that material is pressed, shaped, and brought into form. Live.

​​Each person arrives with a fragment. A half-formed idea that refuses to stay quiet. Together, these are sharpened: some are set aside, some are taken up. The chosen ones are conjured up into working apps.

​​And so the work begins...

​Last session we talked about Matriarchies, changed people's perspectives on Ai and made a "food pantry" app

Based on last month's interest, Patrick will be offering 15 minutes of insight about divesting from big social media.  

​Some app ideas from last month were: 

​-An online community notice board that posted to mainstream socials to aid in a transition to the private site.

​-A non addictive social platform 

​-An anonymous, searchable database for gender based violence.

What happens when you come

​​You don’t sit and listen. You participate.

​​• You’ll build (or watch being built) a real app, live
• You’ll bring an idea, or sharpen one you already carry
• You’ll see how quickly something can move from “wish” → “working”
• You’ll meet others thinking in the same direction, but from different angles

​​This isn’t about learning about tools. It’s about leaving with momentum.

​​Why this exists

​​If Matriarchy is going to be more than a concept, it needs tools. The people who are making it a reality need tools.
