Spheres

Inspiration

Since my youth, I've been interested in systematization as a way to improve life convenience. 15 years ago, I saw lectures by a futurologist about the need to create a global cybernetic system for resource access. Since then, I've been permanently developing this ergonomic platform

What it does

Platform that combines various resource catalogs into a single, intuitive visual terminal. Search for "blender" and also find: diets, nutrition forums, repair services, chef services, crowdfunding if funds are lacking, user reviews, and blogger insights—all in one place!

How we built it

• Vertically: 7 global spheres with subcategories (health, household, society, leisure, economy, self-development, spirit). • Horizontally: Data types (people, companies, events, goods, software, concepts). • At the intersection: Specific resources. ➡️ The platform helps you find not only what you’re looking for but also what you didn’t know you needed—thanks to visual search and an intuitive, color-classified interface, with no need to invent keywords.

Challenges we ran into

🔴 Potential Risks: • Saturated aggregator market. • Unstable financial model. • Limited management experience. • High technical demands. • Volunteer team turnover. ✅ Mitigation Strategies: • Visual search and structure as a USP. • Lean approach with MVP launch. • Reliance on open source and ready solutions. • Sociocracy and collaborative management. • Micromonetization and donor support.

Accomplishments that we're proud of
