When we go around looking for something or someone solely based on the list of required features in our hands, we are still missing a whole lot of information that contribute to our success. I mean it is quite possible to end up dating a yellow baboon! After all she has beautiful blonde hair, big brown eyes, a big smile, prefers a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables; she is none-smoking, funny and very cuddly. Who wouldn’t want to take this young lady out for a dinner based on those descriptions?
In reality many of those who shop around based on a list of features, do in fact end up cuddling with the yellow monkey instead!
It is the quality of experience, context, and the philosophy behind something or someone’s personality that defines an ideal match. One reason behind the success of Apple products, Skype, or Facebook is the rich user experience and the difference that they make in our day-to-day life. Successful business partners or romantic partners do not recruit each other and instead attract each other in so many different levels.
So stop asking questions and start experiencing!
To quote Steve Jobs : “When you are looking at a problem and it seems really simple, you don’t really understand the complexity of the problem. The you get into the problem, and you see that it’s really complicated, and you come up with all these convoluted solutions. That’s sort of the middle, and that’s where most people stop, …. But the really great persons will keep on going and find the key, the underlying principle of the problem — and come up with an elegant, really beautifull solution that works. That’s what we wanted to do with the Mac.”
And that is exactly what you guys are trying to do with Anahita. Keep going !

Thank you very much @Johan for the great quote. That is indeed what we want to do with the Anahita Social Engine â„¢ Project!
Just started looking at Anahita. We’ve used many different frameworks for developing Web based systems, and this one is a new discovery for us. Looking forward to testing it out. BTW, I’m all for the Mac philosophy: bought a Mac laptop a few months ago and virtualized Windows. I like things just work. Simplicity is the key, but leave room for working with the details when needed.
Thanks for putting out this software!
@steve – thank you 🙂
