in modern times, i see the relevance of the unix philosophy—personal software that does one thing well and perfect. a simple notepad app to store ideas, designed with aesthetics. a focused calendar app. a minimal to-do list. a distraction-free writing tool. a quick calculator. a lightweight weather app. a personal finance tracker. a plain text journaling app. a music player that just plays music.

and there are people who are making it. i just got to know about the existence of are.na and river app.

i found the original maxims of style they maintained for the unix system.
