Developing a web app with lix is reduced to providing a user interface that opens and saves a file.

Backend features like auth, permissions, change control, and automations are solved on a file rather than an application-specific level. Lix knows who the actors are (auth), allows actors to conduct changes (permissions), is aware of how data changes over time (change history), can merge changes (collaboration), and uses the knowledge of changes to trigger automations (automation pipelines).

#### Automation

Lix can trigger automations based on changes in files. This is a powerful feature that allows for a new class of apps that are not possible with cloud-based apps.
