HILDUS exists for one idea: communities should belong to the people who build them.
The Problem
The web taught millions of writers, bloggers and merchants to gather audiences on platforms they do not control. The platform sells the advertising, owns the data, sets the rules and keeps the profit; the community does the work. It is a good deal — for the platform.
What We Do
The foundation develops and distributes software for intellectual communities — most of all the Shopnseo platform. Any active user can install it on a cloud VPS and open a community of writers, bloggers, sellers and buyers: personal pages, websites, online stores, book clubs and forums, the way subreddits gather people around a topic.
The One Difference
On a community server built with our software, all advertising is run by the community's host, and all profit goes to the host — not to us, not to anyone else. The foundation provides the software; the audience, the content and the revenue belong to the people who earned them.
Why «Intellectual Communities»
Because the software is built for people who make things with their heads: authors publishing books chapter by chapter, bloggers who own their archive, merchants who earn organic traffic instead of renting it, readers who want to belong to a place rather than feed an algorithm. The name of the foundation says the same thing — see what HILDUS stands for.
