Skywaters, a privacy-first stack for Twin Cities organizers

Why it surfaced

Skywaters proposes concrete replacements for common commercial tools: encrypted CryptPad or Nextcloud collaboration, tracker-free Listmonk newsletters, self-hosted databases, password vaults, and OpenBSD hosting. Its stated model is unusually specific—plain-language intake, collaborative architecture review, migration, and hands-on training—while keeping community data under community control.

A volunteer initiative offering technical consulting and donated secure hosting to Minneapolis-area nonprofits, mutual-aid groups, and grassroots organizers.
