Computers are magic. So why do we put up with so much complexity? We believe just a few new ideas can make all the difference. Having state all over the place is the hardest part of every app. What if it didn't have to be? Jazz is an open-source toolkit for sync & secure collaborative data. People inhabit software. This means we can architect virtual places to be fit for humans. Garden is a home to think in. A note-taking space for your thoughts, projects and dreams. Complex systems rule our world. Simulation makes time, space and possibilities visceral. Tilescape is an open-source toolkit for running and rendering infinitely scalable simulations. In a world drowning in complexity, we need to invent tools that let us do more with less. Open-source and simple standards enable permissionless adoption of new tech at scale. There is immense value in generic, reusable and reliable infrastructure provided at low cost. The best tech is made by vertically integrated companies that design for t

It’s time to invent software all over again. What will computing with AI really look like? The only way to get a grip on it is to build new systems for old fundamentals. Theses & products Distributed state is hard. Physics dictate latency, throughput and availability. Data and state should be represented in a way that honors that, without making applications deal with the complexity. The database that syncs. Jazz is a local-first relational database. It runs across your frontend, backend and our global storage cloud. Sync partial tables, durable streams and files. Feels like reactive…
