iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Our volunteers worked really hard on writing this one. Please enjoy it, share it, and let us know what you think! "Hey, what about this year’s April 1st thingy?" Huh? We don't know what you're talking about. (Maybe @fujocoded.bsky.social knows something...? 👀)

HOW CAN YOU HELP In the spirit of "don't fix what isn't broken", we're bringing back the classic volunteer / $pend / learn trifecta from last year!

2026 PLANS Smaller projects, stronger foundations, new blood and putting 2025's lessons to good use!

Plans for 2026: New Year! New and Improved Us!

Reinforce our foundations
Grow, but like, sustainably
Ship small, meaningful projects

WHAT WE DID All the tea about our first year as an independent sociocratic organization, breakdown by bubble about what went well, what didn't go to plan, and what we learned for next time!

BobaBoard 2025: Did We Do What We Set Out to Do?

Sociocracy and Us
Operating by Department
Steering a ship that changes size every time you look away
Building for the future, one API at the time
Docs: Because it’s Better to have it in Writing
Wrangling Them Volunteers, Or, Human Resources and You
And About That Fiscal Host?
But What Did We ACTUALLY Do?

BIG CHANGES, HOT TEA! Big news inside: we're making big changes in how and what we're working on... on the surface, at least. TL;DR: the line from here to a social fandom web is all but straight! DO read though, 'cause there's a whole section about it with all the deets.

Change Is Everything, and Also Very Hard

How Did We Get Here?

The Retro has the usual 3 sections (What We Did, What We're Planning for 2026 and How Can You Help), but this year we also have one-off (we hope) special section dedicated to changes on how we work! Check it out and get All The Tea about it.

2026 is the year we fix this—not on our own, but by practicing what we preach: asking for help. We have a committed core who keep showing up and moving forward, no matter the setback. We know many more who wish to build a better future, but need a structure we can't (yet!) provide.

121

5 years ago we asked: can fans rally together to build healthier communities on the web? We've come a long way since: coding zines, open source tools, an LLC... The One Issue™ every org faces stays: building a system of accountability where volunteers can consistently show up with their best work.
