## What it is
Loomio is an open-source web application for collaborative decision-making, letting groups discuss proposals, vote with reasoning, and keep a searchable record of outcomes. It is built by a worker-owned cooperative and can be self-hosted or used as a hosted service.

## Use cases
- run group decisions and proposals online
- replace decision-making scattered across email and chat
- self-host a governance and voting platform for a cooperative
- give members an asynchronous way to participate in decisions
- keep a searchable record of decisions and their reasoning
- manage board or nonprofit resolutions with context and votes

## When to choose
- your organization needs structured, asynchronous decision-making with a clear audit trail
- you want a self-hostable, open-source alternative to proprietary governance tools
- your group is a cooperative, nonprofit, or movement that values inclusive participation

## When to avoid
- you only need lightweight team chat or project management
- you need a general-purpose forum without proposal/voting workflows
- you cannot operate a Ruby/Rails stack and don't want hosted pricing
