End-to-end distribution

Winding Tree is not another app or OTA, instead Winding Tree facilitates the creation of hundreds or even thousands of new players to build sites, apps.

Collaboration

In order to succeed the project must be governed and maintained by the users of and community. Only by removing the role of a central authority can we bring innovation back to the industry.
