# MiZe
- An implementation of how I think data should be handled.
- Slogan: _Elevate the Unix file philosophy into the age of connectivity._
With Mize I am building the software platform, that I would want to use.
_Elevate the Unix file philosophy into the age of connectivity._
## Why am I doing this?
- What annoys me about software these days is, that things are done in so many different ways.

- That's why the slogan is going to be: _Elevate the unix file philosophy into the age of connectivity._
## How am I going to do this?
Is not yet completely clear, but here's what I know so far:
- Using what I call "Items" instead of files
- With "Items" being a key-value store of strings/bytestreams
- Those "Items" have types, that give meaning to the key-value pairs.
- A server written in Rust that stores those "Items".
- A way to mount "Items" (or parts of them) into a regular filesystem.
- Web Components to show/render the contents of items in a browser (or Electron-style apps).
- Server middleware to connect external APIs (e.g. emails, YouTube, Google accounts) to this ecosystem.
- The server is one binary without any external requirements (that should run on any POSIX system)
- This makes it very simple to deploy
- I've previously experimented with using MongoDB to store items, but that requires a MongoDB instance to always be running that the server can connect to. And the connection can fail ... and lots of other things can go wrong.
- I want a binary that you can simply start, which then provides a working server.
