Andromeda is a collection of apps that focus on minimalism, portability, and efficiency. It all started with my own desire to have a place where I could write a quick note and access it on any browser. Sure there are plenty out there, but what if I want to own my data? What if I want it to look a certain way? This was the beginning of [Jotts](/apps/jotts), and shortly thereafter slew of other small apps that accent my day to day life.

Each one of these apps is written in Rust, and if you're not a programmer, it simply means that these run on very little memory and CPU power. It's not another massive app that will slow down your computer. More importantly, these are web apps designed to be hosted on a server. Instead of depending on a provider, their terms of service, or another subscription, these apps just need a place to run; a computer in the cloud. Even if you're not that technical, I've designed these to be simple to setup through a hosting service called [Railway](https://railway.com). All you have to do is click a button, then enter a few details like a password. Check out the [quickstart](/quickstart) if you haven't already to give it a try.
