Improve features description on website

See this thread.

There's already some information about the available features. What might help is to divide the page into sections explicitly labeled something like "Features for Users" and "Features interesting to Developers." Add those as page headings, or break off into separate pages.

Separate pages might be better because a typical end user won't know much about or be that interested in things like Node.js running the backend.

I could help write the English version. Let's talk about it a little first. How would we want to answer the following questions?

For Developers, and for end-users:

1. Why is Cozy interesting?
2. How is it useful?
3. There are other projects aimed at self-hosted web apps -- what makes Cozy different?

Here's a summary of what I might write. I'm open to suggestions of how to do this better.

For end-users

Cozy is interesting because it puts the user in control of their own data. Signing on to a commercial service requires putting a lot of trust into companies which may not deserve that trust.

Cozy is useful because it makes it easy to set up and manage the cloud yourself. You can use Cozy apps anywhere, and apps can share data with each other, so you get a nice integrated experience between apps and on different devices.

The sharing of data between apps is also what distinguishes Cozy from other open self-hosted platforms such as Sandstorm. Sandstorm (currently!) has more available apps, but Cozy has apps that work better together.

For developers

Cozy uses Node.js, so it's a nice software stack for developing web applications. But the way data is centralized on the personal cloud means it's easier for web apps to build on top of each other, to add on functionality

@terrycloth We just started a project about it. Thank you to add all the input you think about. It will help for building our new website.

@frankrousseau I think we can close this issue, no?

Hi @terrycloth,
Have you seen our fresh new website? We would be glad to get your feedbacks on our forum.
