A few days ago reddit user, JoinHomeFront aka Josh Smith, finished the first version of an app they've been working on since November 5th. It's called Homefront and you can join it at https://joinhomefront.org.
Several people here asked for updates on its launch, and while they tried replying to those comments, they encountered a shadowban which prevented them from posting updates as usual; wild, since they were simply replying specifically to people who asked for the link when it launched. they planned to share from their main account once it launched, but that wasn’t possible.
What Homefront offers now: Right now, the app features a to-do list with ideas on how to prepare yourself, your family, and your community in the face of authoritarianism. I’m actively working on new features like:
Sharing resources: books, links, videos, and more
Mapping threats in real-time
Connecting with people nearby
Organizing securely into groups
Pre-built templates for organizing
You’ll notice a donation option within the app. Although Homefront is fully open source and contributions are welcome, the development has so far been self-funded. If you’re able and willing to spare a few dollars, your support would be invaluable in keeping this project alive and evolving.
If you're a developer and would be interested in volunteering your time, the app is on GitHub at https://github.com/joinhomefront/homefront. The app is React Native with TypeScript, tRPC, PostgreSQL with Kysely, using NativeWind for styling. The README is not up-to-date but I will be trying to update it post-haste.
I’d love to hear your feedback, ideas, or report any issues. Please feel free to comment below or send me a message.
Thank you for your support, and I hope Homefront can become a valuable resource for all of us.
