Why We Need You
At Edvo, we care deeply about helping people think well. We believe the next revolution in computing will be Personal Intelligence and Intelligence Augmentation — the same way everyone has a personal computer (now multiple personal computers), we have a thesis that everyone will have a personal database that augments them wherever they are, on whichever device they use…
This means not just building powerful and intuitive user interfaces, but also powerful network dynamics which foster and empower the tinkerers of the world.
These days, you’ll hear people from every discipline wishing they had a “common filesystem” where all their applications could share data seamlessly. The same way everyone has a personal computer (now multiple personal computers), we have a thesis that everyone will have a personal database that augments them wherever they are, on whichever device they use.

- The Rust Language
