Hello! I am Circuit, you may also call me Circi or Ci — I use any pronouns!
After both Simply Plural and Octocon announced being shut down, I have decided that I want to make my own plurality app! (I wanted to mention Ampersand here, but it’s not confirmed if they’re shutting down or just going on hiatus I think.)
About the App
Inspired by my own name and a few other things, the app will be named Circuitboard!
Given I have never made an app before and also have zero coding experience; Circuitboard will be in development for a likely long time.
Although I am extremely persistent and very well self teaching, so I believe it will be okay!
The app is planned to be online (so it can have a friend feature) BUT I do want to see if I can figure out a way to make it work offline.
Currently the ideas I have laid out for it is going to include features similar to Simply Plural and Octocon, as well as several other plurality apps/websites.
Currently I’m looking to be a two person team, being me and the body’s father, however this may change later on considering creating an app is an extremely difficult task.
More about Me
Again, I am Circuit; but you may call me Ci or Circi.
I use any/all pronouns.

Q&A
“What’s your stance on system discourse?”
I think all origins of systems are valid, harassment and hate is never okay. <3 TLDR; I consider myself Pro-All Origins and Anti Syscourse.
“Is there an estimate for when the app will release?”
Nope! I have literally no idea.
“What will the app be available on?”
Hopefully Android, iOS, you name it. I’m hoping to get it everywhere I can if possible.
“Why even consider this if you don’t know anything about code?”
Because I’m sick and tired of plural folk getting pushed out of tools that can help them, I want a space where they can safely log things without it being shut down.
“How will you pay for the servers, keeping the app in app stores, etc?”
I’m trying not to worry about the financial aspect of things at the moment, but I’d say it’ll likely be supported by both my own money and donations from supporters.
Thank you so much for reading! I really hope that I can get this project up and running as soon as possible.

we made this account to help bring together new & practiced system app/website developers ^_^
we are not developers/coders ourselves... but we think it's important that each team is able to connect & support one another with the loss of Simply Plural
currently polling to determine interest in a community Discord server !
our (desired) purpose is to provide a space for system app & website developers to build community with one another as well as share tools, resources, and information
hello ~ we’re going around all the system app/website dev blogs we can find & asking everyone to respond to our poll ! it would be lovely to hear from you ^_^
of course !! circuit hasnt been in front lately, but id gladly answer for ya, thank you! ^^ -cody
The Concordia Project is a community-driven effort to create better tools for plural systems.
Plural systems often rely on apps such as Simply Plural or PluralKit to communicate, track switches, organize members, and manage daily life. These tools are incredibly valuable to us — but right now, there are very few of them, and most are maintained by very small, overworked teams.
Concordia is being developed to change that.
What is Concordia?
Concordia is being developed as a foundation-style project whose goal is to support the development of plural tools — including apps, websites, and other resources.
Instead of being just one app, the long-term goal is to build a sustainable ecosystem where multiple tools can exist, improve, and continue to be maintained over time, as well as being easily accessible to all plural.
What this means in practice
One way to understand this idea is to look at projects like Mozilla.
Mozilla develops Firefox, but it also acts as a foundation that supports technology that benefits the wider internet. It provides structure and support that helps important tools continue to exist and grow.
Another example is the Blender Foundation. The Blender Foundation maintains the 3D software Blender while also supporting the long-term development of the project and coordinating the community around it.
Similarly, Concordia’s goal is not only to develop a plural app — but to create a structure that can support ongoing development of plural technology as a whole.
This includes things like:
• developing new tools
• supporting developers who want to build plural resources
• helping projects stay maintained long-term
• amplifying existing tools so more systems know they exist
• connecting developers and creators to each other for support and collaboration
One of the first projects under The Concordia Project will be a new plural app and website, Concordia.
This app will be a system management tool, similar to tools like Simply Plural. It will allow systems to organize and keep track of information about their system in one place.
This will include things like member profiles, switch tracking, friending systems, system notes, a calendar and other ways to organize system information.
A major goal is to make sure that existing data from tools like Simply Plural and PluralKit can be uploaded, so systems don’t have to start from scratch if they choose to move between platforms.
Under The Concordia Project, this app will be continuously maintained and cared for, with the goal of providing a stable tool that systems can rely on long-term.
Why this project exists
Plural tools are extremely important for many systems, and something we rely on heavily in our day-to-day lives — but there are very few of them, and many rely on small teams working under a lot of pressure. Because of this, projects can sometimes slow down, struggle to be maintained, or even collapse entirely, leaving the systems who rely on them without stable tools.
The Concordia Project hopes to help create a future where plural tools are:
• easier to maintain
• easier to develop
• easier for systems to access
• and not dependent on just one or two projects existing
Another goal of the Concordia Project is to create tools that are free from system discourse ('syscourse'). Rather than participating in debates about who should or shouldn’t use plural tools, Concordia’s focus is simply on building and maintaining reliable resources that plural systems can use regardless of where they fall within community discussions or labels.
This is still an early-stage project.
Right now we are focusing on:
• researching community needs
• building a development roadmap
• connecting with debelopers and creatives
• and laying the groundwork for the project
If you’re a developer, designer, researcher, or someone interested in helping build plural tools — we would love to hear from you.
And if you’re a system who simply wants better tools, your feedback is incredibly valuable too.
More information and updates will be shared here, as well as our discord server, as the project develops.
Wether it’s based off Simply Plural, Octocon, something else- Or something you made up completely yourself;
What would you want a plurality app dashboard to look like?
For example, Simply Plural
You can describe in words how you’d want it to look, or you can reblog with a rough sketch! We won’t be taking anyone’s work though, all we’re asking is for ideas that we can mix with others. <3
