Software ate the physical world.
And then… the internet ate software.
We believe that:
- The internet is the world’s biggest app store - where anyone can publish
- URLs are the internet’s native filesystem
- Websites are internet-native apps
- Browsers are the operating system for the internet
- Tabs are the (crap) application windows of the browser OS
- Search engines are the filesystem search
And yet!
The web browser hasn’t fundamentally changed in 30 years… despite the internet’s dominant role in work, play and communication.
Today’s browser experience:
- Sharing sucks –
The internet is a fundamentally multiplayer space, yet the best we can do is send a link and look at it alone OR screen-share and every participant is trapped behind a glass wall where they can’t interact. It’s an incredibly crude solution to the problem of togetherness.
- Tab hell –
People hoard and quickly get buried under tabs because they use them as reminders/to-dos. In effect, this means simultaneously running dozens of applications for the sole purpose of bookmarking a task/action – slowing their computer down and becoming a tangled mess. We think there’s a better way.
