Tools & Services

Platforms, services, and tools used across BNI operations and development.

BNI Properties

Big Nerd Idea — Public Site — https://bignerdidea.org/ — BNI's public docs site. Built with MkDocs, deployed via Cloudflare Pages from this repository.

Big Nerd Idea — GitHub Organisation — https://github.com/Big-Nerd-Idea — All BNI open-source repositories: MPowerUP, Toaster Chef, Second Boot, wholefolk, rlivn, bni-consulting, and this umbrella repo.

Infrastructure

Cloudflare Dashboard — https://dash.cloudflare.com/login — BNI's Cloudflare account: Pages deployments for all docs sites, Workers (CMS auth), DNS, and Access (email OTP gating for vault pages).

OpenStreetMap — https://www.openstreetmap.org/ — Open, community-maintained map data. The privacy-aligned alternative to Google Maps (no API key for tile rendering, CC BY-SA data). Reference for MPowerUP Phase 2 location-safety features and any BNI mapping needs.

Jamstack — https://jamstack.org/ — Reference for the Jamstack architecture pattern (static pre-rendering + CDN + API-on-demand). BNI's MkDocs + Cloudflare Pages stack is Jamstack; useful for onboarding developers new to static-site deployment.

AI & Agents

Meta Llama — https://www.llama.com/ — Meta's open-weight language model family. Reference for rlivn's Ollama offline-fallback stack: Llama models run locally on the in-home device, providing AI capability without cloud dependency. Aligns with the grid-resilient design directive — the companion still works when the internet is down.

Introduction to Claude Cowork — https://anthropic.skilljar.com/introduction-to-claude-cowork — Anthropic's onboarding course for Claude for Work. Reference for BNI Consulting's syllabus — the hands-on Claude adoption curriculum for nonprofits and social enterprises includes orientation to Claude for Work.
