Together, we can build what our organizations need.
Choosing what to build on is what still takes time and adds risk, so Field Notes starts there: deep dives into the libraries and tools worth building on, drawn from an ongoing survey of the field. Then the reports and walkthroughs that show the research worked through on a real problem, with code you can run.
The vision: A small organization running a system it would once have rented. A neighborhood running civic infrastructure it owns. A town that lost its newspaper standing up its own research desk.
Already, anyone can spin up an app in ten minutes, and a business model in thirty. Determining what's worth doing takes vision and leadership. That's what Model Citizen Developers do.
