🔗 Citizen Infra Builders Links Digest
🗓 14 – 24 April 2026

Picking up from the last digest, this stretch's links cluster around European democratic infrastructure, neighbourhood-scale governance, AI's economic ripple effects, and the shape of the ATProto ecosystem.

📰 News & Launches

After 9 months of building, Modal Foundation launched Eurosky — a personal web account hosted in Europe, governed in Europe. New EU-sovereign digital infrastructure to watch.

📚 Worth Reading

Opus on why Sheffield's most urgent problems can't be tackled without talking about neighbourhoods — and why neighbourhood governance without economic agency is "a performance of participation." Argues the gap between the scale at which we're asked to participate and the scale at which challenges are felt is where real agency breaks down.

A taxonomy of ATmosphere applications from Numergent after ATmosphereConf in Vancouver — categorising ATProto projects as Symbionts (complement Bluesky, depend on its restraint), Evolutionary offshoots (want to escape its gravity), or Cuckoos. Useful framing for anyone watching the open social protocol space.

🛠 Tools & Resources

Voxit — an open-source, European platform for collective sense-making, quoting Audrey Tang: "Democracy needs infrastructure that anyone can use, modify, and improve." Part of the emerging EU Civic Tech Hub ecosystem.

AIDF relaunched their democratic capabilities project as democracybuild.org — an interactive map of the capabilities needed for effective democratic processes, and the gaps in research, tools, and practice that remain. Built with input from practitioners across governments, AI orgs, public utilities, and peacebuilding.

Windfall Trust's Policy Atlas — a filterable catalogue of 48+ policy proposals for responding to the economic disruption from transformative AI, from job guarantees to mechanisms for capturing AI-driven productivity gains for public benefit.
• Website: https://windfalltrust.org/policy-atlas/filters

Roomote — an always-on AI coding agent that lives in Slack. Less civic, more builder-utility, but a nudge towards what "co-worker in the cloud" tooling is starting to look like. For an open-source alternative that's already available today, Mario Zechner's mom ("Master Of Mischief") is a minimal, self-managing Slack bot in the same shape — executes bash, reads/writes files, installs its own tools, sandboxable in Docker.
