Introduction to Personal Computing

Personal computing has revolutionized the way we live, enabling instant communication, capturing amazing photos, and providing global navigation. However, most software is pre-built for the "average user," leaving little room for individual preferences and personalization.

• Current limitations of personal computing software:
  • Lack of customization options
  • Features are added or removed without user input
  • Great ideas for new features or improvements are difficult to implement unless you're a developer

The Need for Software Customization

Our lives are spontaneous, and our software should be too. Patina Systems envisions an era of post-personal computing where the line between "user" and "developer" is blurred, allowing individuals to reshape software according to their needs.

• Examples of desired software customizations:
  • A simpler messaging app for grandparents
  • Permanently disabling auto-flash on camera apps
  • Navigation apps that can compare multiple routes

Patina Systems' Approach

Instead of expecting users to create software from scratch, Patina Systems is building everyday tools designed to be quickly customized and shared, blurring the line between consuming and creating.

• Key features of Patina Systems' tools:

  • Enabling sharing of customized software
  • Bridging the gap between users and developers
