Homegrown software freely shared

A tonk is a new kind of thing.

It's something between a multiplayer app and a document. Scaffold code in seconds, drop in images or CSV files and just like that your tonk springs to life.

You can share a tonk like you share a file. Watch it evolve, in real-time, as others participate in it; a tonk instantly connects to any open copies of itself. You can host it online as a website by simply linking to the file. When you go offline it continues to work. If you want to be extra safe, just download a snapshot for backup. Everything in your tonk stays private to you and others who have been given the keys. It's as if you could put the cloud securely in your pocket.

This is a new computational medium for the world we want to create.

A world where software isn't something you rent, it's something you shape. Where we are owners, not users. Where the work we invest compounds the value of our communities and our businesses, not some platform's valuation. Where we share those tools on our terms, without some 3rd party account, server or paywall. We're not waiting around. We're building that world now.

And we're doing it in the open, together with you. Check out the code.

If you're in London, come join us for the ensemble unconference workshop where we'll be building tonks in realtime together.
