21−Landscape lets you bring a group of people together to communicate, collaborate, and do business. Think of it as a combination of ‘productivity software’ and ‘social networking’. Landscape is for bringing together a group of people to share a set of ‘modules’, or things to do, and customizing an environment for the group to stay connected. For a full rundown, see the [interface section]().

23Bringing together many different things in one place is something only a general-purpose platform like Urbit can do, and it’s exactly what we want as an alternative to single-purpose centralized software.

45The first version of OS 1 shipped in March and we’ve been improving it continuously ever since. OS 1 now runs on a much faster, more reliable Urbit OS kernel and network. The interface itself has been cleaned up and made vastly more efficient. If we weren’t so busy, we would have called it OS 1.12 by now.

Our major next step during 2021 is to make it easy for anyone to add their own modules and for developers to build and publish their own. Enabling third-party development will really enable Urbit-centric communities to tailor their own software.
