# About Root |
|||
|
|||
> Own your digital life |
|||
|
|||
It's not that "the cloud" is bad, it's that we just don't like it (for most things). |
|||
We prefer to _own_ stuff, so that we're in _control_ of it. |
|||
|
|||
From pictures and calendars to music & movie collections, and everything in-between, |
|||
we believe that you should have the option to own your stuff. |
|||
|
|||
We're all about _choice_. |
|||
|
|||
# Products |
|||
|
|||
First off, we realize that we're re-inventing the wheel |
|||
(or rather _the cloud_) from scratch, but we're okay with that. |
|||
|
|||
For almost everything that we're building, there's something similar, and probably better. |
|||
|
|||
We're building what we're building so that we can self-host it and redistribute it without |
|||
incurring monthly, and so that we can make nit-picky changes to fit our exact use case. |
|||
|
|||
### Core Products |
|||
|
|||
At the moment we're working on three core products: |
|||
|
|||
- [Hub™](https://rootprojects.org/hub/) - The **home server** is our end game. It's long term and in it's infancy. |
|||
- [Telebit™](https://telebit.cloud) - **Access and share your stuff**, from anywhere. Essential to Hub and _really_ useful. |
|||
- [Greenlock™](https://greenlock.domains) - **Free SSL through Let's Encrypt** (home servers and IoT need that) |
|||
- for the browser as [Bluecrypt™](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/bluecrypt-acme.js) |
|||
- for node.js as [Greenlock™.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js) |
|||
|
|||
# Sub-Products |
|||
|
|||
The are a number of projects that either we've created, contribute to, integrate with, |
|||
or otherwise consider very important to to our goals. |
|||
|
|||
- Keypairs™.js - **RSA, ECDSA**, PEM, JWK, & JWT in VanillaJS |
|||
- [Keypairs™.js for node.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/keypairs.js) |
|||
- [Keypairs™.js for browsers](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/bluecrypt-keypairs.js) |
|||
- Haraka - Self-hosted mail hooks |
|||
- Gitea - Self-hosted git |
|||
|
|||
# Progress & Roadmap |
|||
|
|||
We're still in the progress of building many of the low-level components necessary |
|||
for basic internet-y cloud-y things - like Dynamic DNS, mDNS, Domains, Tunneling, and Authentication. |
|||
|
|||
See the [Tracker](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/meta/issues) to see what's in-progress. |
|||
|
|||
# Culture |
|||
|
|||
We're the weird ones. We do things differently. |
|||
|
|||
See the [Philosophies](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/meta/wiki) for more on that. |
|||
|
|||
