HumHub
Modular social network and intranet platform for organizations

HumHub is an open-source, modular platform for building an internal social network, intranet, or community site. It combines profiles, group spaces, and a stream-based activity feed to help teams share information and collaborate.
Key Features
- User profiles with configurable fields, roles, and permissions
- Spaces (groups/subgroups) for departments, projects, and communities
- Activity stream, notifications, and configurable email summaries
- Content creation and collaboration (posts, comments, and optional modules such as wiki, tasks, polls, calendar, files)
- Module marketplace with many optional extensions (including REST API, LDAP integration, SSO options, theming)
- Search and filtering across content, spaces, and members
- Responsive web UI and multilingual support
Use Cases
- Company intranet for announcements, internal communication, and document sharing
- Community platform for associations, schools, clubs, or municipalities
- Team collaboration hub with project-based spaces, tasks, calendars, and knowledge pages
Limitations and Considerations
- Many capabilities (wiki, tasks, advanced search, SSO options) depend on enabling and maintaining additional modules
HumHub is a flexible choice for organizations that want an extensible social intranet with strong group-based structure. Its modular approach makes it possible to start simple and add features as needs grow.
