Our objectives
Reduce the impact of digital technology on the environment
By its construction
The platform is made to optimize online resources, using Flutter (optimized interface management), Elixir (optimized communications), and additional developments (optimized data management by the fact that the platform manages both the client and the server, the data exchanged will only be new or updated data).
By our business model
Resource-based billing will encourage developers to produce sober code, avoiding the use of unnecessary computing resources or excessive data storage.
By our tools
Tools will be provided to developers to encourage them to identify and resolve weaknesses in their applications on this point. In the first phase of the project, we will provide tools to monitor the state of applications and the associated metrics and indicators.
Stop depending on Tech giants for our digital life
With our hosting
Hosting the components of the platform and the apps stored in the Lenra system will lean within european union by european companies, outside what we consider a threat for personal data (like the U.S Cloud Act).
With our freedom
Lenra is Big techs free and uses none of their service or components (even if some technologies are made by FAANG, like Flutter –but it's open source now).
With an open-source solution
The open source aspect of the Lenra components guarantees transparency and allows anyone to take ownership of the platform, to use it in a independant way or to make it evolve through time. Although accessing apps via the App Store or Play Store is known to offer the best possible performance on mobile devices, the Lenra system leaves the choice to the user of how to access apps. In particular, access via web browser will be possible. This will also extend with the objective to propose the Lenra system to independent mobile operating systems (we already have contact with the /e/ foundation).
Give back to our users the control of their data, so that they are no longer the product
Data management
Data is managed by the platform, not by the developer. This open source block is very important to allow everyone to verify the security mechanisms that are implemented in full transparency.
Authorizations
Authorizations will be automatically requested as the user wants to manage data in other environments outside the Lenra system (connection to an external server for instance) or needs to manage data in the app system.
