Light Crystal Systems probe into a future of computing composed of frugal and well-defined systems, intuitive interfaces, and modest hardware. Rather than blind acceleration toward the next hyped-up trend, we take a critical and long-term approach to computing that empowers people and respects the Earth.

With this sustainable and down-to-earth approach to applications, web development, networking, and systems and UI design: Light Crystal Systems is crafting and researching to practice a more lucid next-generation computing gestalt.

Early intensive interest in UI design became interest in systems design; experience with (free and open) software, networking, and operating systems (as well as philosophical, scientific, and ecological factors) inform these design instincts.
