Inside Folwen
Connected families, independent homes
Connect households while keeping each Family Space under its own management.
The everyday friction.
An extended family rarely fits neatly into one group. Different households have different routines, members, and boundaries. Creating a single shared account can flatten those differences, while keeping every household separate makes staying in touch unnecessarily difficult.
A different way through.
Family Spaces can request and approve connections with one another. Each household keeps its own space, and the connection provides a way to share deliberately across that boundary. A connection can also be removed without treating the families as a single merged account.

Good ideas deserve an honest description of where they are today.
Connections are being developed within the application; cross-server federation remains a future direction.
