Next on the roadmap
A way to talk live, Node to Node.
Get early access
to HummHive.
An app to store, create and share your media on your own device.
A founding seat gets you every new build before the app’s public release. $25 a seat, paid once. Our goal is $1,000,000.
No shares, no ownership and no financial returns. Checkout is a demo. Who holds the money and the full terms must be confirmed before real purchases open.

Your work should
stay yours.
Keep your originals. Choose who you share with.
A photo can stay in your library, become part of a story, or be shared with people you invite into your Hive. A post becomes public on the web when it appears on a hosted site.
That’s the idea: your material starts on your device, and you choose how to share it.
The Equinox briefing below shows publishing from your own machine. The team has also run HummHive on devices in different locations, without needing the app window open on each one.
From a post to a site on your device.
Watch the team create a post, start local hosting, and add an image. The site is shown through a local address on the presenter’s machine.
What comes next.
A $1,000,000 goal.
The next step is live audio and video between Nodes, the devices running HummHive. Further ahead is a way to establish who created a piece of content.
Proof of who made it.
Further ahead
A way to establish who made a photo, video or piece of writing. This is the longer-term work on content provenance, not an available feature today.
A $50,000 refund minimum.
If $50,000 isn’t reached within 30 days after seats open to the public, everyone is refunded. The money can be used once it is reached.
The $1,000,000 goal is separate from this minimum.
Read the public roadmapWhat a founding
seat gets you.
Every new build, before the app’s public release.
Every seat gets the same.
- A permanent founder badge.
- A place on the founding list, in the order people joined. Use your name, a handle, or stay anonymous. Never ranked by amount.
- Early access.
- Seat holders get new builds after existing waiting-list testers and before the app’s public release. Early builds can change, so keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.
- The Founding Hive.Planned
- Where new builds arrive.
- Invites.
- Buy more than one seat and hand the rest to anyone you choose.
- Pay it forward to the media commons.Planned
- Seats you don’t hand out go to people on our waiting list first, then to people who apply. The timing is still being confirmed.
- Refer a friend.Planned
- Bring in enough people who buy seats and you earn a free seat. The referral number is still being confirmed.
