Likwid is a modular governance engine designed for communities that need structured decision-making, transparent moderation, and flexible delegation systems.
Not a social network. Not a simple polling tool. A complete governance layer for complex, distributed organizations.
Every component is a plugin. Voting methods, delegation systems, integrations, and workflows can be added, removed, or customized per community.
Governance is a process, not a feature. Likwid structures deliberation, voting, and implementation as distinct phases with clear transitions.
All moderation actions are logged publicly. No shadow banning. No hidden decisions. Every action has a reason, and every reason is visible.
Maintainers, contributors, and communities making technical and organizational decisions together.
Member-driven organizations requiring transparent voting, delegation, and accountability.
Parties, civic lists, and grassroots movements needing structured collective decision-making.
Distributed organizations coordinating across chapters, regions, or working groups.
Schulze, STAR, Quadratic, Ranked Choice, and Approval voting. Each method is a plugin that can be enabled per community.
Topic-based, time-limited, and revocable delegation. Delegate your voice on specific topics to trusted members.
Inform → Discuss → Decide workflow. Ensures members understand proposals before voting begins.
Every moderation action is logged with reasons. Cryptographic audit trail ensures accountability.
Separate civic and voting identities. Participate publicly while voting privately.
Connect communities across instances. Share decisions while maintaining autonomy.
A member drafts a proposal with clear options. The proposal enters an inform phase where members can read and understand it.
Structured discussion with facilitator tools. Comments are organized to surface constructive input and identify concerns.
Members vote using the community's chosen method. Delegations are resolved. Results are calculated transparently.
Decisions are recorded and tracked. Integration plugins can trigger external actions or workflows.
Likwid is free and open source software, built with modern, auditable technology.
Self-hostable. No vendor lock-in. Your governance data stays under your control.
The best way to understand Likwid is to see it working. Explore our demo instance with pre-populated communities, ongoing decisions, and real governance history.
