In the beginning, Arunna was a CMS project developed to assist web designers and web developers to create application in faster and more efficient ways. In the course of its development, an idea emerged to add some new features that evolve Arunna in having social media capabilities. The rapid change on internet users behavior from primarily "searching" that becomes "asking" is one of the trigger in creating Arunna.
The most important factor in sharing is that you, as the user, decide what you want to share, when you want to share and to whom you want to share. All information and content including friends profile, photos, messages, status or articles will be your own property because Arunna is an open source and can be hosted on your own server.
Privacy is In Your Hand
You have the rights to control the information you have. You are the one who decide as whom you want to share your information with. If you have pictures, articles or status and you want to share them only with your family or only to your colleagues, then you can do it in Arunna.
Data Ownership
Since Arunna is an open source and you can host it on your own server, all information such as photos, articles, web design, friend data and much more will be yours. The content is and will always be your property. You don't need to worry about losing your valuable photo album compilations just because your account is blocked.
