MY HOLY GRAIL

Is to develop a Universal Computer User Interface for Desktops, Tablets and Smartphones:

• It must be FASTER TO LEARN, and EASIER TO USE, than ANY other UI; 
• It must empower Users, giving them more power, and better control, over their computers; 
• It must respect the User's valuable time, and enhance their dignity and well-being;  
• It must be Software Only, Cross Platform, Hardware Independent, and free of all Hardware Constraints;  
• It must be freely available to all developers and manufacturers, without any licensing restrictions; 
• It must transition from the single page 10% Discount Voucher into mass production on a zero budget.

I cannot achieve this on my own. If you are inspired by the quest for this Holy Grail, please help me!

Hello Fellow Hackers and Makers,

I would like to present my Simply Obvious User Interface, SOUI (pronounced SoWe) in the 12 pages of accompanying documentation.

SOUI is the fruits of 40 years of my Computer UI development, much of it spent at CERN. 

SOUI consists of: 

• MenuIndex with Limitations for all Desktops and Smartphones;
• Full Screen Progress Indicators for all Desktops and Smartphones;
• EZsmartphone Spec; 
• EZsmartphone Sliding Menus;
• EZsmartphone 10% Discount Voucher (pdf) or (png).

Move over Google and Apple. Hello Huawei.

I am honoured, and priviliged, to present this initiative to such a prestigeous forum as Hackaday, oozing with so much talent, ingenuity, and creativity.

I hope my invitation to everyone in this forum, to co-create the EZsmartphone, the NextGen smartphone, will spark your approval, your support, and your very valuable and welcome contributions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Let's get the EZsmartphone into mass production, by multiple vendors, by simply making a single sheet of paper, the EZsmartphone 10% Discount Voucher (pdf), or (png) go viral.

A shining example of "little" people saying to Giant Corporations:

We know what we want. And its not the rubbish you are forcing on us.

Thank you for your time, 

David
