With Mize I am building the software platform, that I would want to use.
Elevate the Unix file philosophy into the age of connectivity.
-
What annoys me about software these days is, that things are done in so many different ways.
- e.g: Different cloud applications for syncing data (Google Cloud, OneDrive, Dropbox)
- e.g: Every app stores the data it deals with in it's own way (the way that the developer thought is best for this particular app)
-
Back when Unix came out everything was stored in one place: the file system of the computer.
- (just as simple bytestreams/files, organized by a folder-structure)
- and NO program stored and synced any data around in unpredictable ways.
-
This philosophy is still used in every Unix/Linux machine, on a local level, but completely abstracted away (especially on mobile phones) from the user (by every app).
-
I would say: The Unix file system just hasn't evolved into the age of connectivity. It is still completely the same. And I think it shouldn't be.
-
MiZe aims to bring that idea of storing all data
- in one place
- in one predictable and simple way
- and programs only taking data from there and not storing it everywhere in messy ways
-
That's why the slogan is going to be: Elevate the unix file philosophy into the age of connectivity.
