Welcome to PluralBridge Discussions

PluralBridge Discussions are now open for project planning, questions, design proposals, and contributor coordination.

PluralBridge is a preservation and continuity project for Simply Plural data. The current public work focuses on helping users preserve their data safely, keep exports private, and build tooling that can make preserved data useful through local files, databases, reports, validation, viewers, import bridges, and future services.

Use Discussions for:

• broad design proposals
• feature ideas
• contributor questions
• documentation and accessibility suggestions
• governance and workflow conversations before work is scoped

Use Issues for accepted, actionable work.

Use Pull Requests for actual code, documentation, website, or data-shape changes.

Please do not post private exports, real System data, API tokens, screenshots containing private data, avatar images from real Systems, notes, messages, friend data, fronting history, logs, or database files created from real exports.

Developer help is especially welcome around official export inspection, safe normalization, synthetic fixtures, SQLite support, validation reports, documentation, accessibility, SQL review, local viewer prototypes, and import bridges for other plural tools.

PluralBridge is independent and is not affiliated with Simply Plural or Apparyllis.

Conference update: Power to the Plurals

PluralBridge will have a virtual booth at the Power to the Plurals Conference.

PluralBridge is a free, open-source preservation project for plural systems who need to export and preserve their Simply Plural data before the announced July 1 shutdown.

Current focus:

• Help people export their Simply Plural data.
• Encourage people to save local backups.
• Preserve exported data for future migration options.
• Keep the project open source and inspectable.

Public website:

https://thepluralbridge.org/

Hosted demo:

https://demo.thepluralbridge.org/login

The hosted demo uses anonymized, read-only data. Demo credentials are shared only in controlled conference/booth contexts and are not posted publicly here.

For now, the safest public recommendation is:

1. Export your data from Simply Plural.
2. Save the export file somewhere safe.
3. Make more than one backup.
4. Keep the export private.
5. Follow PluralBridge updates for preservation and migration tooling.

Questions, bug reports, and technical discussion can continue here in GitHub Discussions or through GitHub Issues where appropriate.
