Eleutherios

Global cooperative forum, that enables people or businesses to serve one another through the same forum, request or conversation

Comment

Inspiration

Eleutherios is inspired by the everybody-all-at-once or prior unity principle as described in the book, Not-Two Is Peace by Sapta-Na, Avatar, Adi-Da, Samraj. Sapta-Na, describes a circumstance in which people or business processes are already in prior unity with one another or a part of the same forum, customer request or conversation. And, that it is possible to manage that forum, customer request or conversation, digitally, via the internet.

What it does

For example, if a person is hungry and quarantined at home? They could register with Eleutherios and create a forum for some food. A grocery store owner could, register as a service and subscribe to the forum and ask the person, what food they wanted? After listening to their request, the grocery store owner, could gather the food from their store and charge the customer directly or wait until the goods we're delivered. The quarantined person, could have the groceries delivered to them by scaling the forum and creating a sub-forum for a delivery service. The delivery service, could scale the forum again and create another sub-forum, for a healthcare worker to be the person that delivers the food to the quarantined person.


Forum (Food)
---- Service (Person or customer)
---- Service (Grocery store owner)
---- Forum (Delivery service)
-------- Service (Person or customer)
-------- Service (Fastpost couriers)
-------- Forum (Healthcare worker to deliver food)
------------ Service (Fastpost couriers or customer)
------------ Service (Healthcare worker)

In this example, Eleutherios is scaling or managing the forum, customer request or conversation, that services (people or business) are having about food. Not the service or work, that they are trying to provide or perform concerning food. People or businesses, alternate between playing the role of the customer or the business depending on the nature of their request or the request, that is being asked of them.

How I built it

Eleutherios is built with a real-time pub/sub, node.js, nosql (Firestore) backend and an HTML/CSS (Angular) frontend.

Features:

  • Forum in forum (scalability)
  • Tags for filtering forums or services (search)
  • Alerts to keep end users informed, when new forums or services are created in the system (notifications)
  • Blocking to prevent unwanted services or users from serving in forums, they have been asked not to serve in or for requesting services, they have been asked not to request (accountability)
  • Service ratings/reviews (trust)
  • Payments (resilience)
  • Shared process or manifest (redundancy)
  • AI (automation)

Challenges I ran into

  • Figuring out what the input or constant, should be i.e. service and how to aggregate that using a Turing machine or computer. I.e. (forum in forum).
  • Waiting for internet services, pub/sub database (Firestore) and real-time payments (Stripe) to mature enough before attempting to create a prior unity or real-time B2B marketplace.

What I learned

  • Realizing that everybody-all-at-once, prior unity or zero-point reality is it's own industry or vertical domain, apart from other domains or industries such as finance, housing, education, tourism, defense etc.
  • Having faith in Sapta-Na's Divine virtue and vision of a global cooperative forum for Humankind.

What's next for Eleutherios

  • Finish implementing/testing payment system
  • Putting together an MVP video targeting customers to register with Eleutherios and sell their products or services using our system. Similar to Dropbox's first MVP video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR7tJ8wAI3M)
  • Inviting people or businesses, through social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) to watch the video, and onboard their business, and help grow the demand for our service.
  • Implementing a file sharing system
  • Porting the source code to IONIC to serve the mobile market
