Uncloud: application to create open wireless network and exhibit art or distribute their own information

Uncloud-250

The internet has become an increasingly disputed space. Governments want to regulate it and internet providers want to restrict access to parts of it. To help us remember that the internet can exist without governments, we have created unCloud. unCloud is an application that enables anyone with a laptop to create an open wireless network and distribute their own information. Once it is launched, a passerby using a mobile internet device can connect to this open wireless network. The person running the application can decide what information is shown in any web address. Users can access information wirelessly while at the same time remain disconnected from the internet. unCloud does not depend on a remote datacenter, instead it can be run from a laptop, making it an ideal application to run in a train or at a café.

Ripple Emulator: multi-platform mobile environment emulator in a web browser

Ripple is a multi-platform mobile environment emulator that runs in a web browser and is custom-tailored to mobile widget testing. In English - that means it's not an actual mobile widget, but a testing platform for developers to test their widgets. Ripple aims to reduce the challenges being faced by mobile developers caused by today's platform fragmentation in the marketplace.

It offers the ability to look under the hood of your mobile widgets, gaining full visibility into what your widget is doing. It also allows for the use of existing tools to perform JavaScript debugging, HTML DOM inspection, automated testing, as well as multiple device and screen resolution emulation in real-time without having to redeploy the mobile widget or restart the emulator.

Ripple is built as a Chrome extension, running as part of the Chrome browser and takes advantage of our back-end services to perform some of the more complex operations.
