It is a free software[3] web application, where users can initiate discussions and put up proposals.

[4][5][6][7] As the discussions progress to initiating a proposal, the group receives feedback through an updatable pie chart[5] or other data visualizations.

[9] Most of the work was made by this core group but more than 70 contributors from around the world participated occasionally with small contribution.

[16] The Pirate Party of Hellas used Loomio[17][18] to create 461 groups, covering 18 federal departments, 13 regions of Greece, 23 prefectures, and hundreds of counties and municipalities.

[19] El Partido Pirata de Chile has also adopted Loomio through their own fork called Lumio, offering a slightly different translation into Spanish for the voting options aiming at both remarking the importance of consensus and improving language style by using verbs in the first person singular (Concuerdo, Discrepo, Me abstengo y Solicito Reformular).

Additionally, the PPCL has promoted the use of Lumio in different areas of political discussion and group coordination inside and outside the Party.

It is also possible to add a Single Sign On (SSO) using central authentication provider like Microsoft Azure Active Directory.
