So basically Chrome is such a resource hog they had to build a supercomputer to run it for you https://t.co/8ahwjl5mrH

the web is now such a shit sandwich of javascript spaghetti and ad frameworks that "streaming your browser" somehow got past the brainstorming stage https://t.co/kYXKudHKOe

Absolutely love this. Ultra thin clients running heavy duty applications natively in the browser. Only question is how this works under congested networks / lower bandwidth scenarios. this is some cool stuff @Suhail https://t.co/sdjpKuKpJ3

Excited for this. I recently bought an M1 chip MacBook Pro so that I can run Figma+Notion+Appsmith all together on Chrome. https://t.co/emMpfuyANK

This is essentially a bet that web frontends are going to get worse, despite computers getting faster. What does @Suhail know that I don't? https://t.co/TH6MPxym4d

Enjoyed reading comments to that @paulg tweet.@MightyApp is a fascinating case study because they have a very clear bet with pretty clear risks. https://t.co/yN1P5TjCE8

take a look at @MightyApp - they’re building a super elegant tool in a very tough space (RBI), with a compelling story.

I disagree with their viewpoint on the future of computing. I think they’re dead wrong for many reasons. but I am rooting for them.https://t.co/XuX4P8nR7I
Men will literally stream Chrome from the cloud via supercomputers instead of going to therapy etc etc
— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) April 28, 2021
I would prefer a future where the computing is local, cheap and efficient with technologies like SIMD, GPU, JS, M1... This work is on a wrong direction in the {compute power, privacy} space ?. https://t.co/cwoSkwuwhC

call me old fashioned, but I feel like the solution to "Gmail is slow on my computer" should be something simpler than "Pay $30 a month to rent a cloud supercomputer from which you stream a Gmail tab in Chrome" pic.twitter.com/OEnx0Law9x

lots of unnecessarily emotional takes on this, of which i have none, but i am hoping their native mac app is one day compiled into WASM so that we can distribute it through a browser https://t.co/1FITVKdNeJ

I don’t need Mighty and M1 chips make Chrome fly, but I love Mighty’s bold master plan (via @mailbrew) https://t.co/6L8cknUww3 pic.twitter.com/DVDsGZDWs1

1/ Today we're unveiling Mighty: a faster browser that is entirely streamed from a powerful computer in the cloud.
— Suhail (@Suhail) April 27, 2021
Demo in the next tweet ?
New website: https://t.co/RTuSGLciUz
Excited for where this could go ?? Congrats on the unveiling of @MightyApp , @Suhail -- we need more people in the arena like this https://t.co/ytwE3A4sVu

No, I’m not making this up. This is an actual thing, apparently. This company’s idea is batshit. If you’re on macOS, just use Safari lmfaohttps://t.co/855X47Fu5k
— Rhys Morgan (@rhysmorgan) April 28, 2021
There are so many privacy concerns with an app like this. Every website you visit, every cookie, every keystroke(!) is sent to a third-party company, in this case a start-up. So they can see my passwords, credit card details, etc. Am I understanding this right? https://t.co/K7EculVIx5

This could be a great business but there is honestly something hilarious about people getting so fed up with Chrome they decided to stream it to their desktops from the cloud via supercomputers https://t.co/5sE6Hvv0w7

If I worked on the Chrome team and we had an annual meetup and someone said “OK, how are we doing on performance,” I would just begin by saying that a company now exists to stream our browser from the goddam cloud from supercomputers, that’s how we’re doing
— Casey Newton (@CaseyNewton) April 28, 2021
Two trends:
— Adam Kirk (@atomkirk) April 28, 2021
- continuously cutting edge hardware with a subscription (just stream ui and events)
- shared burst computing. Needing intermittent bursts of massive parallelism (send a few thousand frames of video to render to each server and then combine when they all come back) https://t.co/rh1vgTdon3
Imagine spending $30 a month to give all your session data to a startup so you can get chrome to run slightly faster. https://t.co/2oE993Km9j

How do you make Chrome faster?
— Santosh Kumar (@santosh79) April 28, 2021
One route is go through some obtuse, privacy nightmare solution of using an intermediary to stream your content.
Another - just DON’T send a crap ton of JS to the browser. Don’t use crap like Ember/React etc.
Use LiveView #elixirlang https://t.co/ytASySrWoI
Usually when people talk about grand things like changing "the future of computing," they're full of it. But not this time. Suhail has been working on this for 2 years. There's a good chance it's the new default infrastructure.https://t.co/yLFyk4a1gk

— Suhail (@Suhail) April 27, 2021
It's time to build a new kind of computer.
I think it’s a commentary on the state of modern webapps that someone feels they need to stream the browser from a server. We need another thin client layer to proxy the old thin client because it got too fat, apparently ?? https://t.co/gY15WINMPK

It will make more sense why we're doing this and why this is a good starting point.
