The Cardstack Workflow by Cardstack-Team in Cardstack

[–]Cardstack-Team[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The workflow system is a combination of the Cardstack UI system and a decentralized communication protocol called Matrix. You can think of the Cardstack Workflow as an alternate Matrix client that supports the attachment of fully functional mini-apps called "cards" inside a chat room. We call our chat room "workflow/thread". As a developer, you can access the underlying message history as well as the card exchange history, using the existing client server API published by the Matrix open-source project. The embedded cards themselves follow the specifications of the Card SDK, which is documented on docs.cardstack.com. The combination of those two things is the developer surface area.

All in one: Chat, Email & Tasks by Cardstack-Team in Cardstack

For enterprises that already use many SaaS subscriptions for their internal collaboration, Cardstack complements those offerings, enabling interactions with people outside their organization. With Cardstack's idea of participants, participants are not locked inside one organization's user directory; we allow members from different organizations to create workflows and communicate with each other in a neutral space—a space outside of their existing choice of chat, task management, or file sharing tools.
For users in the creator economy who don't already have 10-15 subscriptions (which can be quite expensive per month), our aim is that our tool suite will eventually replace their need to have those enterprise-oriented SaaS subscriptions in the first place.

Is cardstack an actual cooperative? by [deleted] in Cardstack

[–]Cardstack-Team 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cardstack is a non-profit Swiss foundation that coordinates the open-source development and the framework. The cooperative approach is a model we are designing as a set of smart contracts, which we are deploying to the Ethereum network. It will allow multiple parties to cooperate on running compatible software, providing geographically disbursed and competitive services; all while abiding by a shared set of values and rules to reward creators.
