The FtR Project

Not storage. Not a cloud. Not a tool. A system where your files actually behave like they belong to you.

Philosophy

FtR exists because modern file systems stopped feeling like systems. They became tabs, dashboards, uploads, sync errors, and “please wait while we optimise your experience.”

FtR flips that. A single idea called a Drop becomes everything: storage, package, workspace, and mountable reality.

The goal isn’t to abstract files away. It’s to make them behave properly again. Predictable. Direct. Yours.

InkDrop

InkDrop is the centre of the system. Not a dashboard. Not a side product. It’s the place where Drops exist, move, and stay alive.

Think of it as the “ground truth” layer — everything else (CLI, mounts, remote actions) is just a different angle into the same world.

Open InkDrop Work in the browser, collaborate, and manage Drops directly

Open Source Core

FtR isn’t locked in a vault. The CLI, the ideas, and the system design are visible, editable, and breakable (if you’re determined enough).

It’s not “community driven” in the buzzword sense. It’s just honest engineering exposure.

Getting Started

You don’t “install a platform” in the FtR world. You enter it.

curl -sSL https://quanthai.net/installftr.sh | sh
ftr login
ftr search your-first-drop
ftr get someuser/someproject

That’s it. No setup wizard. No onboarding carousel. Just tools doing their job.
