I am working on an open-source project. In the beginning, it was browser-based. The reason I started this project is that there is too much unnecessary stuff in today’s software. When I open a browser, it’s filled with ads, and there are too many malicious things on the internet now. I absolutely cannot trust a person's self-discipline. In traditional stories, truly believing in someone’s words only happens when they lose all the tools to commit a crime. So, I decided to write my own browser.

Videos are arguably one of the worst inventions of modern society. We spend a lot of effort just to find a bit of usefulness in them, while it’s incredibly easy to fill them with a bunch of garbage. The prevalence of short videos, gray-area content, and various ads is everywhere. Therefore, the first thing I did was to ensure that this browser absolutely does not support video. Later, I realized that videos are not entirely useless; they can be selectively enabled in certain situations.

The software isn’t perfect; in fact, it still has many issues, but I am continuously striving to improve it. I have included features such as dark mode, website filtering, etc. The main goal is to provide a network environment that I genuinely desire. If we want to avoid certain websites, then we should never have to see them again. Everything I am doing is simply to reclaim time wasted on meaningless activities for each of us, and the extra time can be spent on much more meaningful pursuits.

Later, I thought perhaps I could centralize various necessary functions within this software, so I gradually added some other common features like a schedule and progress tracker. All of this is intended to make our lives easier, not to complicate them. As the software's name suggests, I hope to help us do ourselves through foundational means.

Initially, the software was closed source because at that time, I wanted to profit from it, but I also had other work to do. I realized that it is very difficult to develop a product solely relying on one person’s strength. A mature piece of software likely requires hundreds of thousands of lines of code. After thinking it over for a while, I ultimately decided to open-source the project. It is released under a free software license, hoping to gain support from freedom-loving people all around the world.

Now it has become one of the software applications I use the most daily, perhaps even the most. I am gradually removing unnecessary software from my devices. I hope that in the future, I can do even more things through it, with features that are controllable and align with what I desire.
