File/data management is one of those things that are very fundamental to what computers do and one of the first applications for computers, but where advancements have been quite limited. We are still mostly stuck on simple hierarchical structures with short plain text string as the sole identifier for files. Files themselves are mostly opaque blobs, file managers usually having limited info about their content.

Admittedly file managers these days at least can show thumbnails and in some cases even previews of the file which is great. They also are capable of extracting some metadata of files, but that still feels bit tacked-on in most cases. Versioning is also available in various forms, but that too could certainly be better integrated to the system.

Imho it would be interesting to see a system which would forgo our current conventions of files and directories, and instead would be more strongly be based on the concept of tags, metadata and objects.

But I got sidetracked... I meant it is nice that people are trying to rethink even a little how we manage data, even if this particular project doesn't really hit the mark for me personally.
