What is GroveOS?
GroveOS is a company, and its also a system to get work done in.
The Company
GroveOS is a web and software development company. We've helped numerous individuals and businesses solve unique business problems and create engaging websites and web apps for their customers and end users.
From simple brochure style websites to dynamic user-account driven sites with access control and integrated workflow automation, GroveOS has many tools at its disposal to help solve virtually any business problem (seriously).
We can do this because we avoid heavily-templated systems like WordPress to solve all our problems. This isn't to say we don't ever use WordPress or similar systems, but we don't try to build everything with it. Instead, we use a method of capturing data, storing it, and presenting it using a wide variety of tools and platforms that integrate seamlessly together, saving you time and reducing complexity in your day-to-day operations.

The System
For the technically inclined, GroveOS is a business environment – a place to get work done and to express work. It's a system for expressing and solving the dynamic problems that come with operating a small business, packed with a collection of small composable programs aimed at solving the most common small business problems.
It can be thought of as a sort of "small business programming language", except this language is intentionally kept simple and small in scale, abstracting much of the daunting complexity found while learning more enterprise level programming languages such as Java, Python, and JavaScript.
Technically speaking, GroveOS is a subset of both the bash scripting language and HTTP – as the system can be interfaced via the command line and over HTTP web requests. As such, it's helpful to know some bash basics before you dive into GroveOS. Bash is one of the easiest languages to pick up and is the default language used in most command line interfaces.
There's a lot you can do with bash, but we like to keep things simple. GroveOS is designed to simplify programming concepts so that even those unfamiliar can still easily pick up the system and produce meaningful results.
