Who's behind Spaaze

Welcome to Spaaze

Hi, I'm Stefan, employee of Irian Solutions and creator of many modern web apps like Mind42. While brainstorming for new projects last fall, I came up with an idea for a virtual corkboard, which could aggregate and hold all of my information. While many where sceptical I simply started to implement it in my private time during my co-workers vacations. This is how I ended up here, running and developing Spaaze out of personal interest, with partial backing from my company who lets me invest some company time into this project.

Why Spaaze?

I wanted to solve a problem I face on a day to day basis. If I have to take a quick note during a meeting or brainstorming, or have to write down a todo for a project, I usually open TextEdit and save a simple *.txt to my desktop. Also while surfing the web, and finding stuff I want to check out later (like a 1h video which I don't have the time to watch in the office) I simply drag a link to it on my desktop.

The problem with this is, that the desktop becomes cluttered, and the information is never where I need it, having one computer in the office, one at home and a notebook. To store this information in the web helps to have it available everywhere, and there are many web services available which help you to do so. But I was not happy with having my information scattered around multiple web applications (some todos here, some bookmarks there). Why wasn't there a service which allowed me to keep all the stuff in one place?

Which brings us to Spaaze. Spaaze is an information management web application which tries to do things a little bit different. While most other application try to bring structure to your data, Spaaze is more like real life. Everybody likes to sort things differently, has different aesthetic demands. Spaaze doesn't force your thoughts into a specific structure, but let you decide how to arrange and group them.

Spaaze is like an infinite desktop in the web.
