Unfortunately, that practice is too +complex for most people. It looks like privacy protection is not a feature that +is motivating enough to jump into the self-hosting world. + +That's why Cozy is born. Cozy is a platform that allows anyone to manage his +own server as easily as a smartphone. Its architecture is original in two way: +First, it's built like a PaaS, so anyone can build its own web app for the +platform without learning a fancy SDK. Second, applications share the same +datastore that syncs easily with any device. +We believe that, by making the personal server easily manageable and by +providing advanced services that syncs well, we could solve the self-hosting +adoption problem and provide people with a better web experience. + +That talk will be the opportunity to explain better why we make Cozy, +to see in details how Cozy works under the hood and to show you a short demo of +the platform and its apps. + +Links: + +* Website: http://cozy.io +* Code: https://github.com/cozy/
