/1 😫 I’m done with traditional cloud storage. You’ve no privacy, the UI sucks, and they don’t work on all devices.

☁️ I’m starting a project to build privacy-first cloud storage.

🔐 Usernames are being reserved now. Leave the username you want as a comment and I’ll reserve it.
/2 The project name is Mylib, and this will be your personal database where you can upload anything you want.

Feel free to upload whatever you want (within the law). Dick pics, credit card numbers, whatever, doesn’t matter, because it’s all encrypted with the key only you know.
/3 😏 The UI will be a little different. I won’t spoil the surprise, but I’m 100% sure you will love it.

Here’s a hint: your data is probably more than just file names.
/4 Once we get there, mylib will work on every single device capable of apps (assuming the AppStore gods approve it obviously).

⌚️📱💻🖥📺
Mylib will be genuinely cross-platform experience from smartwatches to big ass TVs.
/5 🤝 This will cost money to run, but the business model is fair and privacy-friendly.

😱 If you run your own server, everything is 100% free.

🤗 If you rent storage from me, you’ll pay for what you use.
/6 This thread will act as a reserve list for usernames, so if you want to make sure you get your preferred username, which will be used in your public share URLs, leave a comment with your username.

😑 No, you can’t have trademarked names like apple or google.
/7 🥳 Let’s do this!

🔐☁️🙈 The world needs privacy-first cloud storage that doesn’t care about platform politics and is 100% focused on making your digital experience better.
