Principles
- an app in which your data stays with you
- you control where the data is stored
- no spam, no captcha, no sign up, no passwords, bring your own identity
- using open protocols for flexibility and interoperability
- do what you want with your data at any time
- your data is accessible forever even if the app stops working
Flows
The traditional way.
Go 'through' apps in order to access your data—without the app, you have no way to access what is yours.
The 0data way.
Keep your data under your control at the start and give permission for apps to access it as necessary.
Protocols

- Simple Hello World for multiple 0data protocols.
- StorageStack
- A decentralized storage abstraction middleware framework.
