Before, the city happened to you. Now you happen to the city.

Hey Product Hunt Community 👋

Early access: the globe is just waking up. Be one of the first 100 humans on it 👉

Cloud Atlas OS Explained https://youtu.be/O6CHRdYSaH0

Launching here on November 18. Follow the product to get notified. Until then, I’d love your honest take:

What would you post on the globe first? Try it and tell me what breaks, what’s missing, and what you’d change.

FREE YOUR WORK. Cloud Atlas OS is your new operating system. But forget the system. Just operate.

Not: “Become an entrepreneur and learn the entire system first.”

Instead: you have a skill, and you just want to put it to work. So Cloud Atlas OS gives you the infrastructure, free advertising included. You advertise. You work. You earn. You handle your own taxes. Done.

It’s a so-called superapp. Imagine owning Uber, Airbnb, DoorDash, Upwork, Fiverr, Couchsurfing, Kickstarter, Twitch, Wikipedia, and an App Store, all at once. But community owned. Zero commission. Zero fees. Free. Forever. Nobody takes a cut. Ever.

Why can it be free forever? Because it’s peer-to-peer. There’s no middleman server to pay for, and no middleman to take a cut. You talk directly to the people you work with.

We are planning to cross $1 billion in the first year, in collective savings to workers. Not revenue. Savings. Yours! Not ours.

What’s live today

🟢 LIVE: Need a ride, or driving anyway? Match with someone nearby in real time.

🟢 LISTINGS: Rides, rooms, meals, tools, skills, socializing, volunteer projects: post it on the globe, or find the right human for what you want to do right now. Money, swap, share, free. You set the terms.

🟢 FREE YOUR CITY: Swarm Governance. Flip the script on any bad news! Take any flood, fire, drought, blackout, eviction, protest, injustice, crisis, or failure, or any everyday issue, whether local or global, and turn it into a public brainstorming. Then organize people around it: a petition, funding, or just enough people, same place, same time, with the right tools.

From your street to the entire planet. No committee. No NGO. No permission. Just people, intent, and lawful action.

"Before, the city happened to you. Now you happen to the city."

PS for builders: skip the guesswork, Lean Startup style. Prototype through public brainstorms, with the people who will actually use it, and let their feedback shape it before you’ve built it. What survives contact with reality beats what sounded good in a pitch deck.

What’s coming soon

🔜 Omnipedia: all 6 million Wikipedia articles as a videogame on a 3D globe, with articles literally eating each other. A living movie of Earth, where every article is a place and every era is a timestamp. Navigable, contributable, owned by no one and everyone.

🔜 Collective land conservation: we buy land to do literally NOTHING with it. No extraction. No concrete. Temporary, reversible, minimal structures. A network of protected habitats where humans learn to exist more lightly on Earth.

🔜 BBQ Circus: a very special campfire in the park, run by the community. Host one in your city.

Before, the world happened to you. Now you happen to the world.
