Thanks for the thoughtful discussion — I deeply appreciate both the support and the challenges to this idea.

OS Yamato doesn’t intend to replace traditional archiving. It’s more of a philosophical experiment: what if our digital space reflected the seasons of life — blooming, fading, letting go?

I agree that some data — like photos of loved ones — deserve lasting preservation. Yamato allows you to mark something as a favorite (♡) to keep it longer, but even those gently fade if untouched for a year. Not to erase, but to invite mindful curation.

This project isn't trying to be for everyone — it's just an offering for those who find beauty in impermanence.

Always open to refining the vision — thank you for helping shape it.
