You are right, we met Andrei and he provided us good advice on how 
improving Cozy!

Yes, orginally, we are web developers and it would be great to 
discuss/work with security/backend experts to see how Cozy could fit 
with the standards proposed by the FreedomBox. Moreover, all our apps 
provide REST API, so CLIs could be built too.

Owncloud is a great project too. People often compare us to them but 
they have a different approach and we believe that the more there is 
alternative the better it is. An option that would allow the Freedom Box 
user to chose one of them or both, would be great.
