Need feedback + beta testers for my internet computer startup

Hi GV, I’m a 22 year old dev in Bangalore building a product that allows you to run resource intensive applications in the cloud!

The moonshot here is an OS that runs on the cheapest computers, but connects to powerful remote servers, allowing you to run any application you want so you are no longer limited by your hardware if you don’t have a powerful PC.

Currently I am able to support VSCode and Blender. I’m looking for feedback so feel free to play devil’s advocate and ask me questions about it. I know GV is the best platform for this.

Here’s the early access link, I would be very happy to give you a demo. Please mention “Grapevine” while filling it out. TIA!

This is a tarpit idea, stay away from it.

Can you elaborate on it a bit?

Lot of people have tried doing the exactly this idea and they passed, and none of them have worked.

 First of all there is no demand for a product. Like this reason being if you find the top segments of users will use this product. One of the top segment would be the people who work on software that consume a lot of RAM.

 For example, your game, developers, designers, architects, movie, editors, and they prefer to have a off-line powerful computer rather than depend upon a cloud solution, and this has been battle tested and proven.

 Now coming to any kind of software engineering research and any creative work that requires a lot of CPU and lot of RAM again in this case, people will want to have it off-line rather than depend upon cloud.

The Internet connection is a major bottle neck and making sure the users of a great user experience. Even if your servers are powerful, there will be network latencies which will screw up user experience and they will stick to off-line metal tested machines depend upon remote machines run their software .

Heya Bengaluru

I'm coming to Bangalore to start up and will be staying in HSR or Koramangala.

I'm looking for some events to join. The eventual goal is to pick up software clients.
