  • A platform for building and publishing websites, web apps, and games.
  • An alternative to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. with a fresh interface and powerful features.
  • A remote desktop environment for servers and workstations.
  • A friendly, open-source project and community to learn about web development, cloud computing, distributed systems, and much more!
