A few steps to understand how Oyeba turns a remote project into something clear and shared. Launch the demo, or go at your own pace.

01 · Create

Choose a template

Get started in 30 seconds. Choose a template suited to your project type · maison, mariage, business, studies · or start from a blank page. The template pre-fills typical checkpoints so you don't have to think of everything from scratch.

  • Six templates cover the most common diaspora projects
  • Every template can be customized, checkpoints added or removed
  • Blank template if your project doesn't fit any category

Roles

Four roles, clear permissions.

Everyone sees and does what fits their place in the project. Nobody steps on anyone else's toes.

Owner

Creates the project, validates checkpoints, manages invitations. The only one who can delete the project.

  • Create / delete
  • Invite / revoke
  • Validate checkpoints
  • View everything

Editor

The owner's right hand. Can do everything except delete the project or change the owner.

  • Create checkpoints
  • Invite members
  • Validate checkpoints
  • View everything

Contributor

Person on the ground · site coordinator, service provider, family member. Posts proofs, comments.

  • Post proofs
  • Comment
  • View assigned checkpoints
  • ·

Observer

A family member or investor who wants to follow along without participating. Read only.

  • View the project
  • Receive notifications

Key concepts

Oyeba's vocabulary in eight words.

Project

The main container · a maison, a mariage, a child's schooling. Everything (checkpoints, proofs, members, messages) lives inside a project.

Checkpoint

Units of progress. A checkpoint has a title, a status (upcoming / in progress / validated), attached proofs, an owner, and an estimated date.

Members

The people invited into a project. Each with a role · Owner, Editor, Contributor, or Observer · that defines what they can see and do.

Proofs

Everything that shows a checkpoint is moving forward: photos, videos, audio, PDFs, receipts. Timestamped, geolocated if permitted, stored forever in the project.

Timeline

The project's automatic log. Every action · creation, proof posted, validation, comment · leaves a timestamped, named record.

Messages

Discussions tied to checkpoints rather than an endless thread. Find what was said about the foundations by clicking the 'foundations' checkpoint.

Notifications

You're notified only when something concerns you. No noise. Email, mobile push, or both · your choice.

Validations

A checkpoint turns green when the owner (or an editor) validates it. Everyone sees instantly that it's official.
