Session
Habitat is building a self-hostable, open-source platform for organizations and communities to own the data that backs the communication and collaboration tools we use to work together! This talk focuses on how many of our challenges are borne out of the forces that exist to make user interfaces as magical and frictionless as possible and the supporting infrastructures as invisible as possible.
