Welcome to libraries.pw! A lightweight, simple, open source Library host. Click the button below to sign up to host your very own Library account.

A Library Account is very similar to an email account, but a Library can do much more than an Inbox can. Your Library, along with the Libraries of your friends, together make up what is called the Library Data Storage System. This is a distributed, datastore that acts as a platform for applications.

Instead of giving Facebook your photos for them to store on their servers, you can give an application access to read and/or write to your library.

The underlying API of the Library Data System is open source. So if you do not trust libraries.pw to host your library, you can run your own library server, and still participate in data sharing across your Library's connections.

The Library Transfer Protocol is an open source effort to standardize an API to promote better interoperability between cloud storage providers.

If app developers build their applications on top of the Library Transfer Protocol instead of proprietary services such as Dropbox and Google Drive, it would drive the world in a direction towards better, open software where users are in control of their data.

To Learn more about the Library Data System, come hang out with the developers in the official IRC channel on Freenode #librarydss.
