ABOUT

Welcome. My name is Phil John and for the past 8 years I’ve been working on the Folio ecosystem as a side-project while I worked full time as a software developer. When I started work on the Folios my initial focus was very much on creating personal life stories and the ability to persist them into the future so that we could leave a permanent record for our ancestors, the family historians of the future.

As the apps developed I realised that you could use them to tell other stories, not just your personal history. You could use them to create Folios of whatever interests you, which in turn helps to build an even bigger picture of who you really are.

As we enter the era of AI we are about to resolve the issue of how we persist these life stories into the future. Having used AI extensively both within FolioPro and for it’s development I can see how we will be able to use it to help us ensure that we build a collective body of work that extends well beyond our lifetimes. I am truly excited to see what people created on top of what I created at the start of this amazing journey.

I have two accounts on X(Twitter). My main account for everything Folio-related is @FolioProDev but my older account for my crypto and NFT ramblings is @sexadegen.

I’m based in South Wales in the UK. You can reach me at phil@folioapps.xyz
