Speak to non-technical visitors: drop "x86", swap "domain" for "name on the network", and list concrete upcoming apps (photos, files, smart home, game streaming, media) so the page says something real instead of just "it's early". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

| Furtka | Open-source home server OS — simple enough for everyone. | <span class="mono">26.0-alpha</span> — work in progress |
Furtka is an open-source home server OS. Boot from USB, click through a wizard, and any old computer turns into a private cloud for your household — with your own apps, your own name on the network, your own data.
The goal is simple: your dad should be able to set this up.
What's coming next
- Apps for photos, files, smart home, game streaming and media
- Plainer language in the setup wizard
- Secure connection on your home network (no browser warning)
- Linking several servers together
What works today
- Boot from USB stick and install Furtka onto the hard drive
- A wizard asks for name, user and network — done
- Then: open the control page in your browser
- First app: file sharing on the home network (everyone on Wi-Fi sees the folder)
- Install and remove apps with one click
We're two people building it in public on evenings and weekends. It's early.
