Welcome to Hex.Camp

Part of the "Local Wide Web" ... a place for websites that are built for your local community.

What is it?

• Hexagons!
• allow everybody to share information by placing things on a map
• uses Uber's H3 system for subdividing the world into hexagons
• any hexagon can contain a website or data
• hexagons can be "owned" by individual users or communities of users
• core services are familiar web building blocks:
  • DNS
  • SSL
  • HTTP
• super cheap to run
• communities can run their own subsets of the global network
