Your opinion is valuable.

Your data should belong to you.

The Forum.Community civic feedback tool that embeds into municipal and community websites. Residents submit comments. Municipalities and institutions get useful data. Citizens keep ownership of everything they say and any value the value of that data.

Submit Your Feedback

How It Works

Three steps. No accounts required. No data harvesting.

You share your feedback

Use the submission tool here on theforum.community. Select your town, tell them what's on your mind — a concern, a suggestion, a question about how things are run. When your municipality adopts the tool, the form lives directly on their website.

Your town gets the signal

Municipal officials receive aggregated reports — what residents are talking about, what they agree on, where priorities are. No individual data is shared without consent.

You keep your data

Every comment belongs to you. View it, delete it, or participate in any value it generates. The infrastructure is open-source. The code is public.

For Municipalities

Free. Embeddable. Zero infrastructure to manage.

We provide the tool. Your web developer drops it onto your site. Residents never leave your domain.

One line of code

A single embed snippet. Works on any website — WordPress, Squarespace, CivicPlus, static HTML. No software to install.

Sentiment dashboard

Free login to view aggregated feedback from your residents. Topics, frequency, trends. No PII exposed.

Open source

Your IT team can audit every line. The code is public on GitHub. The database runs on Supabase with documented security policies.

No cost. No contract.

The platform is free for municipalities. No subscription, no procurement process, no vendor lock-in. Remove it anytime.

What We Believe

Three principles. Non-negotiable.

Data ownership

Your feedback is yours. Not the platform's. Not the town's. Not a corporation's. You can view, export, or delete it at any time.

Data value

Aggregated civic data has value to researchers, campaigns, and policy organizations. If it's ever licensed, the people who generated it receive a fair share of the revenue.

No manipulation

No algorithm. No feed. No engagement optimization. No profiling. You say what you need to say. It gets where it needs to go. That's it.
