This is an open source project that helps me collect all of my social data from wherever it is online into one place, and then lets me do really awesome stuff with it.
STATUS: eager-developer-friendly only at this point, we're working hard to make it usable for early adopters very soon, keep an eye on @lockerproject and @jeremie for progress!
- Contexts - A context is a place where I have data about myself, such as an account on a site or service, or in some desktop app, on my phone, or even from a device.
- Sources / Sinks - The source is the bit of code that fetches/syncs my data from a given context, the sink is the code that knows how to publish data back into a context.
- Collections - My data from the many different sources gets organized into common collections, such as places, contacts, messages, statuses, pages, etc.
- Apps - Once my data is in my locker, I can then run apps locally within that locker that do useful or fun things for me without having to give my data up to any web site or give anyone access to my online accounts.
I am the platform.
