# Design goals
One of our most important design goals is an application architecture that makes it **simple to embed Nimbus into other software.**
Another is to **minimize reliance on third-party software.**
A third is for the application binary to be as **lightweight as possible in terms of resources used.**
### Integration with Status
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I can&#39;t wait to run Nimbus straight from Status Desktop <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/hyped?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#hyped</a></p>&mdash; JARRAÐ HOPΞ (@jarradhope) <a href="https://twitter.com/jarradhope/status/1293473249347555334?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 12, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
As part of our first design goal, our primary objective here is for Nimbus to be tightly integrated into the [Status messaging app](https://status.im/).
Our dream is for you to be able to run and monitor your validator straight from Status desktop.
