Slate

An open source storage system for your files and data that makes it easy to collect, organize, and share them anywhere on the web.

• Design System
• Release Repository
• Live Application Prototype

Current prototype (July 22nd, 2020)

Our goal is to create a new kind of storage solution that encourages collaboration and research, while also building it on a completely transparent and open source foundation. Over time, we hope to grow Slate into an elegant experience for:

• Creating mood boards, hosting data, and making connections between topics you are researching
• Replacing S3 with a Developer API and API keys
• Every feature supported by Filecoin
• Storing images and sharing them with friends :)

Slate is a client for Filecoin, Powered by Textile's Powergate and Buckets.
