**HumHub** is a free and open-source [social network](/source/Social_network) software written on top of the [Yii](/source/Yii) PHP framework that provides an easy-to-use toolkit for creating and launching your own social network.

## Design

The platform can be used for internal communication and collaboration that can range from a few users up to huge Intranets that serve companies with hundreds or thousands of employees. The platform was created to be self-hosted and currently comes with pretty normal requirements, working with most shared hosting environments around. HumHub also supports themes and modules to extend the functionality for almost all requirements.

## History

HumHub was originally developed by zeros+ones, a web agency from Munich and was spun off as an independent company in early 2015.
