In an age of global content platforms, blockchain news experiments, and AI-generated headlines, it's easy to forget the importance of local, independent journalism.

But platforms like vbusk.com — a regional news site from Busk, Ukraine — remind us that journalism still starts with people, not platforms.

What is Vbusk?

It's a small, community-run media outlet that covers real-life stories in a historic Ukrainian town: local politics, public events, cultural heritage, and the voices of everyday citizens.

They don't use AI to generate content. They go to town halls, schools, libraries, and community centers. They ask questions, take photos, and publish real things that happen.

Why It Matters (Even on Dev.to)

Whether you're building open-source tools, working on decentralized infrastructure, or just writing code — there's value in staying grounded. Real life doesn't always happen on GitHub.

Projects like vbusk.com are the human infrastructure of democracy — and they need visibility, support, and inspiration from the tech world too.

Because even the best decentralized systems still rely on people who know what’s happening next door.
