TreasureFamilyApp is an iOS and Android app that tracks children's development from birth through age six and includes more than 2,000 activities and resources. It was created through collaboration among several cooperatives. Other projects include Pam a pam, a collaborative map of Catalonia's social and solidarity economy; BookDAPer, a Python tool for measuring the environmental impact of publications and awarding eco-publishing labels; and Acciosocial, a WordPress website for the Federation of Catalan Social Action Organizations (ECAS).

A cooperative way of working

Jamgo describes itself as a horizontal cooperative: all employees are member-owners with equal pay and an equal voice in decisions. It works with free software, open standards, and open licenses, and prioritizes collaboration with other social-economy organizations. Since 2015, Jamgo has completed the Social Balance assessment of the XES, Catalonia's social and solidarity economy network. The cooperative also uses a feminist approach to address the underrepresentation of women in technology.
