A civic platform where people earn weekly credits, govern together, learn for free, trade locally, and keep the power — owned by the people who run it.
MiLyfe is civic infrastructure — not a social network, not a campaign app. It is a full-stack platform that gives communities the tools to self-govern, build shared wealth, and support each other without intermediaries.
One account. Your whole civic life. Free forever.
"The Constitution as something you live. A system that still works after anyone leaves."
Built with $0 in outside capital over 11 years of independent work. Not a pitch deck. Not a prototype. A running, auditable platform anyone can inspect, fork, and run.

Everyone is welcome — anyone, anywhere, from day one. That's not a slogan, it's the license.
"We the People of the United States... do ordain and establish this Constitution." — Preamble to the U.S. Constitution
MiLyfe begins where the American promise begins — We the People — and treats it as universal. Anyone, anywhere can join from day one.
Principle 1: We the People. Power belongs to the people and stays with them — everywhere, from day one. This is the whole play.
The other 23 principles include: free forever for rights, learning, and emergencies · no permanent power · open source forever · freedom to exit with your data · children first · truth in claims · not a state.
$MLY is a community credit issued by public, transparent rules. Not an investment. Not a token sale. Not a financial product.
- Earn it — weekly UBI to every verified member, quests, community contributions
- Spend it — marketplace, local shops, thanking neighbors
- Trade it — voluntarily, peer-to-peer, with anyone who consents
- Save it — personal jars, household pots, community treasury
No founder mint. No pre-mine. No APY. No "investment in our team."
| Layer | Choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| App | Next.js 16 (App Router) + React 19 + TypeScript | Production-ready, self-hostable |
| Database | PostgreSQL via Supabase | RLS at the DB, not the app layer |
| Auth | Supabase Auth | Open source, no vendor lock-in |
| Styling | Tailwind CSS + custom design tokens | Fast, consistent, accessible |
| Security | Zod + DOMPurify + RLS + client-side encryption | Defense in depth |
| i18n | Translated message catalogs + language selectors (14 languages, RTL-aware) | Universal from day one |
| License | AGPL-3.0 | Public code, stays public |

# 1. Clone
git clone https://github.com/RealMiLyfe/MiLyfe-Universal-OS
cd MiLyfe-Universal-OS
# 2. Configure
cp .env.local.example .env.local
# Fill in your Supabase credentials
# 3. Run
npm install && npm run devDatabase setup: apply the migrations in supabase/migrations/ (the canonical, versioned schema — 48 tables, 108 RLS policies). The scripts/new-project-setup.sql bundle is a convenience snapshot; when in doubt, the numbered migrations are the source of truth.

The founder was arrested 11 times in Jacksonville, harassed hundreds more. Ate from trash cans. Bathed with a water hose. Couldn't pay child support. Built this for 11 years with $0. Nearly ended it all twice. Kept going.
His daughter stopped asking if it was done. The silence was the weight.
It's done. It runs. The code is public. Now he's running for mayor to prove it works.
"You can't attack a man who already told you everything and built something beautiful anyway."
