Help build RynMesh.

RynMesh is an MIT-licensed, local-first personal AI app and a friend-to-friend content mesh, built in public by a very small team. Everything is in one repository: the Python node, the React web app, the Tauri desktop shell, the protocol and the docs. Pick accepted work from the live backlog, reserve it with /claim, ship a pull request, and CI plus a maintainer review verify it.

What we are building toward

Read first, then pick.

Four milestones, in order: a companion that is useful alone, a trusted circle of friends, services and an agent with limits, and only then an open network. v0.7.0 shipped milestone 1 and the first half of milestone 2. These documents explain the design, the current state, and how work is verified.

GitHub remains the source of truth

This page reads public issues and reservation markers. Claims, discussion, branches, pull requests, review, and CI stay auditable in the repository instead of being copied into a second tracker.

Reservation protocol

One primary contributor. Public collaboration.

01

Comment /claim

The bot processes commands serially per issue. The first valid claim becomes the primary reservation.

02

Show progress in seven days

Post an update or open a linked draft pull request. Inactive reservations return to the available pool.

03

Release when plans change

The current contributor can comment /release. Other engineers can still offer focused help without taking ownership.
