About us
The Common Wire is a social news platform all about the open movement and the commons. Think of it as a mix between Hacker News and a community hub for openness enthusiasts. Our mission? To create a space where people passionate about openness can share cool articles, news, funding opportunities, and projects
Why do we exist?
Let’s face it— social networks are getting worse by the day (thanks, enshitification!). It’s getting harder to stay in the loop with what’s happening in the open movement. That’s where we come in. The Common Wire is your go-to spot to catch up on the latest updates, all in one simple place. Visit us once or twice a week, and you’re good to go.

What can I share?
Pretty much anything that’s interesting and relevant to the open movement. Here are some ideas: A deep dive analysis using open data, a cool new open dataset you stumbled upon, a funding alert for open-source projects or your latest project that you’re proud of and want to show off!
