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 …

Puffin is primarily focused on mobile where there are substantial limitations with completely different technology. We are focused on desktop + heavy web apps, not simple web pages.

A) That article does not compare Mighty to Puffin at all, and B) Puffin runs web apps, has a desktop client, and in fact touted speeds _better_ than the browser (not "indistinguishable from") on JetStream, for example:https://cloudmosa.medium.com/meet-puffin-browser-the-fast-secure-web-browser-that-thinks-outside-the-box-bf928888bcce …

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.

Like for example, if you had taken ten seconds to read what I actually wrote, you would have seen this:pic.twitter.com/Q395qKGI3C

But of course you didn't, because what actually happened is that you'd never even tried Puffin before (understandably, because it's a decade old and nobody cares). So you ran off to do that, then came back and pretended to know something interesting.

But again, in all your fervor to defend your product, you don't seem to care that _I don't give a shit about your product_. What I care about is that _it represents a total failure of architecture_, not by you, but by the industry.

If you guys can convince people they should rent streaming browsers from you, have at it! It's not your fault the web infrastructure is terrible, and you are more than welcome to profit off it.

But what it 100% isn't is "the future". The future is the architecture that lets us render 2D pages reliably on simple hardware, which would be easy if the web as a platform weren't designed so incredibly poorly.

So like, it's not the future of architecture. And it's definitely not "the future" in terms of a product, because people already did this product 10 years ago. If your product is "higher performance Puffin, 10 years later" then just say that. and maybe don't call it "the future"?
