How to Hunome
Hunome's deceptive simplicity shines through all the different ways to build.
Hunome enables many ways to build understanding.
Solo Build: build understanding independently in your own time and at your own pace.
Atomic Group: build as a group to flesh out ideas directly relevant to the group's interests or priorities.
Humanathon: lead and participate in mass deliberation on themes that impact many people.
Once you've signed up, set a profile describing your interests and ways of knowing, you can begin your sensemaking journey and add your unique perspectives.
Adding your perspectives feels like writing a blog post or crafting a short message, but the impact is far greater and more enduring. Your ideas become part of a larger conversation, interacting and evolving alongside others' contributions.
On Hunome, you intertwine your thoughts with those of others on an ever-evolving thought canvas, we call the SparkMap.
The SparkMap allows for the transparent evolution of ideas, enabling everyone to observe how thinking progressed and why it moved in a particular direction.
SparkMaps facilitate interaction between diverse perspectives and showcase the nuance, detail, and synthesis within them. By contributing yours, you play a vital role in collective sensemaking.
A platform where
all voices can be heard
The core Hunome platform is and will always be free.
Collective sensemaking requires the inclusion of people regardless of how much money they have.
Similarly, the significance of perspectives should be determined solely by their merits and value, rather than the identity or status of the presenter.
Influence cannot be purchased or leveraged on Hunome.
We are committed to leveling the playing field so that all voices can be heard and contribute to our shared understanding.
How Hunome works
Solo
On Hunome, you are able to intertwine your thoughts with those of others as well as your own on a dynamic canvas.
Atomic Group
Atomic groups on Hunome form around interests. Join any SparkMap, add perspectives to Sparks, igniting new thoughts.
A Humanathon
Engage diverse experts and people in a collaborative, ongoing effort to develop a comprehensive perspective on societal change.
Hunome is about active rather than passive thinking and engagement.
You build rather than just consume, share and follow.

Much effort for little return
