Aspen Cloud Beta

Hey Hunters! I'm Matt, co-founder of Aspen Cloud - here with my other co-founder, Will (@will_ernst). We're both excited to share what we've been working on! We built Aspen because we spent a ton of time working within the confines of a browser window (Chrome for me, Firefox for Will) and were getting slowed down by having so many different apps and contexts all sharing the same tabbed window. So as two experienced software engineers, we decided to build something that could help us regain some control over the tabbed mess that we were dealing with. Aspen is not just another "browser for work". Aspen breaks your apps *free* of the browser. And believe us, this is way better than working in a single window. We know because we originally started to build a "better browser for work" and quickly realized that we didn't want a new browser - we wanted to be able to respond to an email, open developer documentation, or jot down a note without disrupting our workflow, *sans browser*. Aspen is a rethinking of how we use web applications, giving you a highly configurable space to fly through your workflows faster and more seamlessly than ever before. This includes: - Configurable keyboard shortcuts to quickly open/switch apps or to configure your workspace - Single-purpose app windows for each document or app you open to help you stay focused on the task at hand - Customizable app dock that is always one click away from any window — like Speed Dial for your apps Some examples of things you can do really easily with Aspen: - Take notes during a Zoom call without opening your browser - Read comments on a Pull Request without leaving your IDE - Respond to an email without leaving the document you're working on - Check an internal dashboard without leaving your Slack conversation We'll stick around for a bit, so feel free to drop any questions you have!

Aspen is really awesome. I have been using it for easily opening my google calendar / Gmail as well as some other sites. It works particularly well of things that you wanna have a quick glance at (eg. a google doc or as in my case the calendar).

I got Aspen a few weeks ago and I love how I can fly across my apps! Definitely recommended!

Been using this for about a month now, big time saver and finally am able to avoid browser tab overload.

Congrats on the launch Matt and Will! I love having Aspen on my desktop and very excited to see where the product goes in the next few months. I am very much a daily active user and highly recommend this product!

This looks really neat! On Macs, how is this on resources (RAM, CPU)? Can you tell me a bit more about how this works? I can see it's currently in beta (I applied for an invite), how do you plan on monetizing Aspen Cloud?

How secure is this browser?
