While we're on the subject, perhaps @paulg can explain how the Mighty "future of computing" differs even from the recent past of computing, namely Puffin Browser. It's the exact same product as Mighty, but it's been available for over a decade:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffin_Browser …

They also tout all sorts of "high performance" and interactive applications of Puffin - like games:https://medium.com/hackernoon/mobile-gaming-lightning-fast-and-powerful-in-the-cloud-a58142b760fd …

I assume - although I guess we'll see - that the reason they focus on mobile now is because nobody wanted this technology on desktop. Maybe the web wasn't bloated enough then, and you'll be helping them out by pumping a bunch of marketing into convincing people it is now.

Casey, I can tell you didn't even try Puffin. Issues w/ Puffin vs Mighty: Cannot pan around a Figma file, Cannot drag & drop a file to Imgur, Scrolling is extremely stuttery, No dev tools support, can't install chrome ext, can't download files to local desktop. Not even close.

Mighty is far better than this. It's a magical super computer that is just like Chrome. It's coming whether you hate the idea or not. We have gaps too but far less than this.

"Enter Puffin Browser: willing to use the cloud" i'm sorry but this is the point they lost me. no. "the cloud" a notugly name for "your data is not yours since not stored at the physical location where you have any real access to it"
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

"Puffin’s secret for beating all major browsers is its use of cloud servers’ computational power to load and render web pages." translation: our secret to being fast is to move the slow parts somewhere you don't see them and somewhere we can build a silly huge rack.
