Services & Item Drive‍s

Defines the <<<Item>>>s as the unit of user-managed data. Items may be created by the user or by a <<<service>>>.

  • When the user manually creates a new item, or adds information to a service's item. That data gets saved to an <<<item drive>>>.

When the user creates an item not associated with a particular service (such as a note), or adds data to an item beyond its service’s own offering (such as adding a note to an email), this item data is saved in an /item drive/.

Item drives are a special kind of service. The user needs at least one, because they are responsible for the system’s item storage. But users might have additional item drives for specific purposes: an additional item drive might be shared with collaborators, or provide specific functionality around the syncing of their data (for example, by offering end-to-end encryption).
