HelpButtons is a free software platform that allows creating digital networks for communities wishing to organize, collaborate, and communicate. You can use it for neighborhood networks, rural groups, cultural collectives, educational communities, mutual support networks, animal rescue, and many more.
A network serves to share resources, spread information, organize activities, ask for or offer help, and maintain a living space for community communication. It is a digital way to empower collective action in the real world.
No. HelpButtons is designed to be accessible, simple, and usable by anyone. You do not need to know how to program or have technical experience.
Yes. Creating and using a network is free. In the future, there may be advanced or customizable functions under an ethical and transparent model.
Each network has its own administrators, who define the rules, moderate content, and manage permissions. HelpButtons does not intervene in local content management.
You can participate anonymously or with a profile. Your data is not used for commercial purposes, and you can modify or delete your account whenever you wish. The control is always yours.
