My Vision
The Dream
My mother can build an application to track her recipes and share them with the world.
My young daughters can learn how to create and interact with data in a rich, interactive way.
My wife is able to access, transform, and report on our family data in a free-form and unconstrained manner.
I can expose my music, bookmarks, photos, documents, etc. to anyone I choose, allowing them to access and transform my data as they do their own.
The notion of what is “writing an application” and “using an application”, “design-time” and “runtime”, and “developer” and “user” are gone.
How We Get There
A universal way for “real people” to securely access and publish structured and unstructured information (“Infobus”).
A simple, but powerful language for “real people” to express transformations (views, …) of this information (“Infoscript”).
A rich user experience that allows “real people” to do this information access/publishing/transformation within (“InfoShell”).
