should the key message target functionality or underlying philosophy of the product?

Both. You should use the philosophy behind the product to distinguish yourself from the other similar apps out there.

Love the product, but yes, the site could use some work. Target functionality in big bold, philosophy on the about page.

the philosophy would be the main drawing point for me; it's precisely the reason I still keep all my photos, calndar information, files, etc. on my local machine, even though web-based access would be very nice to have. With you app, I can have both, wich is very appealing, although I'm slightly worried about bandwidth consumption if several people start streaming from my music collection, for example. Related to this (possibly), what exactly about the functionality of your app is p2p (that wasn't clear to me)? Nice job altogether; I will definitely check into using this...

  the p2p functionality is used in sharing photos and workspaces (similar to backpack app). P2P is not used for jukebox (more like ur own personal music station).

    another thought: maybe you could sell this as an app you can install on a (commercial) server of your choice, and so not have this drain your local (presumably home) bandwidth, while still being independent of google, flickr, etc. This would also save you from having to keep your desktop computer on and online all the time..

      we thought about that. do you think there will be a market for it? will you pay 20$ per month for a virtual private instance to have tonido

        Me personally, no, but I can imagine that this would be attractive to a small business. Anyhow, isn't the effort to port the app from being desktop-based to server-based minimal since all the interfaces are web-based?
        codemechanic 17y ago
        yes we can port it easily

Clearly it should be both. Your business is Freedom, privacy and convenience. Sooo: "Your stuff. Safely on your computer. Get to it from anywhere, just like a website. Share it, just like a social network." Your pitch is the "best of both worlds."
