Open Notes

What is Open Notes?

Open Notes is an open-source community moderation and annotation system that can be integrated into any platform. Built by leveraging the algorithm behind Twitter/X Community Notes, it enables communities to collaboratively add context and verify information within their spaces. The platform allows community members to contribute annotations and moderation efforts, creating a transparent system where users collectively help identify misinformation and provide factual context. Open Notes is designed for platforms and communities seeking to enhance trust and information accuracy without relying solely on centralized moderation teams. The system is particularly suited for Discord servers, forums, and other community-driven platforms where distributed moderation can strengthen reliability. As an open-source project, Open Notes provides transparency into how the algorithm works and allows developers to customize and deploy the solution independently. Key features include community-driven annotation capabilities, constructive moderation workflows, and integration flexibility. The project maintains active documentation on its philosophy and architecture, making it accessible for teams wanting to understand and implement the system. Open Notes is available at no cost as an open-source project, with a Discord bot implementation readily available for immediate adoption.
