Telescope VS Loomio

This app is itself is a Next.js app that relies on Vulcan.js, a full-stack JavaScript framework that I originally created for Meteor, and that Eric Burel later ported to Next.js. But we will likely phase out the Vulcan.js part eventually to make it a more standard codebase.

This app is itself based on a full-stack JavaScript framework I created, Vulcan.js. It works well enough for now, but in the future the app might need to be refactored in order to handle more surveys in parallel.

A few more truly in the vibe of open source projects not advertising their hosting providers: https://plane.so/ , https://element.io/ , https://www.loomio.com/ , https://zulip.com/ , and it keeps going... Very few open source projects, in the FOSS sense, are advertising their hosting provider.

Loomio [https://www.loomio.com/] would be a great forum, cooperative decision making tool for running such a group. The next step would be building out any tools that are not covered by loomio and the likes.

I understand that reaction. If you look into it, you'll see that they collaboratively decide how to use group resources with consensus-based decision making, and tools like Loomio.

Loomio does have a few other options (including score voting and ranked choice)

I would say that without the legal aspects, any transparency will still be missing a way to be accountable. But you can take a look at coop models. Also check out https://www.loomio.com/, https://cobudget.com/ and the coops that build it https://www.loomio.coop/, https://www.enspiral.com/.
