Community Hub

Your community, your features

Every community is different. Pick the features that matter to yours — examples include:

Events

Organise and share local events, gatherings, and activities in one place everyone can find.

Transport & Carpooling

Coordinate rides and list transport options so people can get around without needing their own car.

Skill Sharing

Connect people who have skills with people who need them. Run skill fairs, workshops, and swap sessions.

Resilience Planning

Workstreams, surveys, and action plans to help your community prepare for and adapt to change.

Discussions

Real-time team chat with threads, replies, and mentions — for the volunteers running things behind the scenes.

Notice Board

Community announcements, lost and found, local news, and anything the neighbourhood needs to know.

Groups & Organisations

List the clubs, societies, and organisations in your area so people can find and connect with them.

Governance

Roles, constitution, policies, and financial records — open and accessible to build trust with your community.

Built on

Kanecta

Community Hub is built on Kanecta — a free, open-source platform you self-host on your own infrastructure. Kanecta handles the data layer so Community Hub can focus on the features your community actually needs.

Data sovereignty Your community's data lives on your own infrastructure — no third party holds it, controls it, or can take it away.

Share freely Open formats mean your data can flow without walls — between tools, communities, and collaborators, on your terms.

No lock-in, ever MIT licensed and yours forever. Move it, fork it, share it — no permission needed, no strings attached.

Free software, forever

Community Hub is licensed under the MIT License — and that will never change. There are no paid tiers, no premium features, and no plans to add them. Every feature is available to every community, for free, forever. You are free to use, modify, and distribute the software as you wish.
