# Developers *Neighbourhoods presents a pathway for developers to experiment with Holochain in a meaningful way. By building general-use tools and placing them in the Neighbourhoods Bazaar, you help spread patterns of distributed computing to early adopter communities of all sorts.* **Is the Neighbourhoods framework for you?** * [ ] I want to experiment with leading edge, decentralized software without needing to start my own company or join someone else’s. * [ ] I want the experience of building slim stacks rather than brittle, monolithic ones. * [ ] I want to build tiny, super useful widgets that can be plugged into suites, bundled together by and for the communities that actually use them. * [ ] I want to promote network cohesion over forking by participating in a framework that generates value when groups using modules of code bridge with other groups, creating meta-networks. **Using Neighborhoods Developers can…** * incorporate and send out social data between neighbourhoods, provided there is sufficient will and trust between them. * take advantage of Holochain's open source libraries * contribute to the NH Bazaar and earn credits for modules that get used by neighbourhoods.
