Page 278. Thread is a very systematic way about relationships are structured there is also a very systematic way of tracking contacts between the people in the community. Thread has created an app called tapestry, which tracks every time I volunteer as a touch point with one of the young people.

In the book
You build that kind of community on purpose: by holding conversations that dwell on possibilities rather than problems — what could we make together, what talents here have gone unused; by giving it a dependable way of gathering, a regular method that reliably brings people together; and by binding it with the smallest shared rituals, the way even a pot of soup, dressed in a little ceremony, can manufacture belonging. The bonds themselves grow the slow way, one small contact at a time. And you earn your own place in any of these circles not by being admired but by being useful — the deepest sense of belonging comes from feeling that you are of use to other people, and the truest mark of contribution is that it finally stops needing applause, because you carry its reward inside yourself. — Friends, Community & Society (Relationships/Community/Society)
