Neighborhood unions.

No charter, no bylaws, no meeting room. A union is what a hallway already is: people who share a door deciding to act like it. Everything here runs on the phone you already hold, with no company in the middle.

The union kit

Your building, as a book

Every union keeps a little book on the shelves: who lives here, where the group talks, what's shared, and the few words you've agreed on at the back. Turn the pages like paper.

Turn the sample

Make a door hanger

Make a sheet of door hangers and hang them on every door. Scan one and the whole building's book opens - no app to install, nothing to sign up for.

Print the hangers

Say hi, face to face

Two phones, one hello - point to point, encrypted, with no company in the middle. Scan the neighbor's offer, and you're talking to them, not to a server.

How a block does it

1Hang a door

Print a sheet of door hangers and put one on every door in the building. The QR on each one opens the same little book.

2Scan & turn

New people scan and get the building's book: where the group lives, what's shared, and what was agreed. It works with no connection - cells in an elevator count.

3Say hi

For the hello itself, two phones talk directly - a scan passes the greeting door to door. Real time, in the flesh, no platform watching.

When the words matter

After hello comes the fine print.

The back page of a union book is the few lines a building has shaken hands on. They start as a draft — a building is drafts. To give a page of them real teeth, a building moves the words through three honest steps:

1Read the words. Held up to the light, one clause per page — what people are actually deciding on, nowhere to get lost. See the building's words
2Make a written copy. One tap opens the agreement desk on incorporated.ink with these exact words already pasted in, nothing sent anywhere. Prefill the printer
3Sign, seal, keep a copy. Seal the exact words with a fingerprint, print the sheet, sign in ink, and every door keeps a bundle. Copies that must agree are things a building can hold. print · sign · seal

A draft stays a draft until a building seals it. The seal proves the words match — the paper, the ink, and the witnesses prove who signed. The agreement desk

Presence — the postbox

The hello is real-time. When the neighbor on the late shift can't answer the door, leave a note: one tap opens your own mail app addressed to the building — no relay, no postbox on a company's computer.

Why no app, no sign-up, no middleman

The union book is paper in the phone's language: a page on this site, so every door hanger points at the same shelf.

The hello is point to point. When two phones say hi, the greeting travels directly between them, encrypted, and no company sits in the middle reading it. The QR you exchange is the only "server" a hello needs; it just carries the opening words. Your phone does quietly ask a public address-guide (STUN) where its own front door is - that helper sees the door number, never the letters inside.

Two honest edges, on purpose: the hello lasts while you're both there - it doesn't record or wake up later; and under a rare strict Wi-Fi, a direct hello can fail, and it fails honestly rather than secretly detouring through anyone else's computer.
