Go Deborah and Josh! I really love the process of meeting people where they are, listening to what they're trying to do, big or small, and figuring out ways to create tech systems for them to make it easier. I can imagine all the trust this would build and how it would lead to a deeper interest from people in the neighborhood to dream more and to turn toward each other. This is a very special approach to community building and tech for community. And I lovely the willingness to step into messiness, slowness, and inconvenience that is often what makes relationship and community possible (which has echoes of Maya Pace's recent post "On the Inconvenience of Trash" here: https://trustlabs.substack.com/p/on-the-inconvenience-of-trash).

Lovely!

Love this. Very inspiring. "The nitrogen in [the relational soil] is agency, the water is curiosity, and the sunlight is love" is wonderful!
