Hi everyone — I’m back with another Zwind promo and bringing a new feature: the Web Media Projection Resolver.
This time I don’t just want to drop a promo link. I also want to explain why I built this thing in the first place.
The app is called Zwind. On the surface, it looks like a weird niche utility: “A WebDAV server for iPhone.” And honestly… it kind of is. Because almost nobody today thinks of phones as servers.
Phones became machines for doomscrolling, algorithmic feeds, notifications, platform hopping, and consuming content someone else controls. Our devices became more powerful than ever, but somehow they became less ours. That feeling started bothering me more and more.
Promo Offers
A lot of people from my last post asked me to continue building the resolver ecosystem, so I decided to run another large promo round.
And honestly: every purchase genuinely helps me continue building this weird anti-platform project.

I got tired of platforms deciding what I should see
The modern internet looks huge, but real freedom on the internet feels smaller every year. You think you're exploring, but actually algorithms decide what reaches you, platforms decide what survives, creators disappear because ranking changed, subscriptions became engagement feeds, and recommendations replaced discovery.
I started missing the old internet: the internet where you subscribed to your own RSS feeds, managed your own files, chose your own information sources, and your workflow belonged to you — not to recommendation systems, not to engagement optimization. So I started asking myself: what would a truly user-owned information gateway look like? That’s when I chose WebDAV.
Why WebDAV?
WebDAV is old. That’s exactly why I love it. Because it still represents something modern software abandoned long ago: openness. WebDAV fundamentally says: “Turn anything into a filesystem.” And filesystems are still one of the most universal interfaces humans understand: folders, directories, paths, mount points, copy, move, sync. Those concepts survived decades because they work.
So I started thinking: what if internet content itself could become a filesystem? That idea became the core philosophy of Zwind.
Zwind turns internet resources into filesystems
Inside Zwind, local storage can become WebDAV, cloud storage can become WebDAV, RSS feeds can become WebDAV, websites can become WebDAV, and remote resources can become WebDAV. Everything eventually becomes a virtual filesystem accessible through WebDAV.
Which means you can browse RSS from a file manager, stream subscription media directly from players, mount web resources into NAS workflows, and access content from any WebDAV-compatible client. Your phone quietly becomes your own information hub again.
Then RSS Projection changed everything
At first Zwind was mostly about sharing files. Then I realized the real problem wasn’t file transfer. It was information access. So I built RSS Projection. But I didn’t want “another RSS reader.” I wanted RSS to behave like infrastructure.
For example:
/Subscriptions/TechCrunch/
/Subscriptions/HackerNews/
/Subscriptions/YouTube/
Articles become files. Media becomes streamable resources. Feeds become mountable structures. And because everything is exposed through WebDAV, you can use players, file managers, sync tools, automation systems — whatever you want. RSS stops being trapped inside feed-reader UIs. It becomes portable again.
Then I went further: websites themselves became mountable
A lot of modern platforms don’t expose RSS anymore. No APIs. No export. No openness. So I built something much crazier: ZWMP — Zwind Web Media Projection Protocol.
This is probably my favorite part of the whole project. ZWMP is an open projection protocol that transforms arbitrary websites into virtual filesystem resources. Meaning a website can become folders, media collections, streamable files, paginated directories, and searchable resources — all exposed through WebDAV.
Even if the original website provides no API, no RSS, and no open protocol, projection rules can reinterpret websites into mountable resource structures. Chaotic modern websites can become something like:
/Media/
/Videos/
/Articles/
/Collections/
And because the protocol is open-source and extensible, people can build their own resolvers too. That part was extremely important to me. I didn’t want another locked plugin ecosystem. I wanted users themselves to reclaim parts of the modern web back into open infrastructure.
At that point Zwind stopped feeling like “an app.” It started feeling more like a user-owned interface layer for the internet.
What I’m actually trying to fight against
Modern software increasingly wants users trapped inside platforms, closed ecosystems, recommendation loops, and algorithmic walls. Zwind was designed in the opposite direction.
I want open protocols, local-first workflows, composability, interoperability, and user ownership. You don’t even have to use my UI. Use your own clients, your own workflows, your own automation stack. That’s real freedom to me.
“Everything is a filesystem”
Over time I realized something strange: most internet content is just resources, and resources can be filesystemized. RSS becomes folders. Websites become directories. Media becomes files. Subscriptions become paths. Resolvers become mount systems.
Once you start thinking this way, the internet suddenly becomes much simpler — and much more yours.
Zwind is still niche
I know most people see “iPhone WebDAV Server” and immediately think: “what kind of nerd tool is this?” Honestly, I like that. Because the people who get it usually understand immediately: this isn’t really about file transfer. It’s about reclaiming control over your information environment.
I don’t think Zwind is “finished.” Honestly it feels more like the beginning of a larger idea. Maybe the internet doesn’t need more platforms. Maybe it needs more open resource systems, more interoperability, more ownership, and more freedom.
At least now, I can finally browse the internet the way I want. Not how algorithms want. Not how platforms want.
My content. My gateway. My workflow. My internet.
Thanks for reading, and thank you to anyone who tries or supports Zwind.
