Whist

Hi everyone! I want to thank you all for your support and @chrismessina for hunting us. After two years of hard work we're excited to come out of the woods. All credit goes to our amazing team for reaching this milestone. We built Whist to solve a problem very familiar to those that work in tech, finance, sales, and design: modern web apps are becoming heavier and dragging down people's productivity. Over the last two years we've tested Whist with thousands of users and have built the true no-compromise browser: a browser with cloud tabs that does not sacrifice any of the performance or security of a local browser. Today, we're releasing Whist for macOS. Because cloud tabs require a server geographically close to you, cloud tabs are temporarily locked behind an invite code. When you download Whist and create an account, you'll automatically be put on shortlist to receive an invite. We're onboarding new people every week! If you're on another operating system, please put your name down here: https://whist.typeform.com/to/ES.... We'll be supporting Windows in a few weeks. To learn more about Whist, we've written a blog post that dives into the product, at https://whist.com/blog. Happy browsing!

This is amazing 🤩 guys! I am using Windows and looking forward to the beta!

Whist is great, I can finally have 2000 tabs open AND not crash my 2014 MacBook air.

The hybrid approach is brilliant! Let users decide when to the browser normally and when to supercharge it with the cloud! I remember being excited by Whist 1.0, and can't wait to try the Whist 2.0. Congrats on the exciting progress @philippemnoel @mingy98 and the rest of the fractal team!

The real-time streaming technology used for the cloud tabs is ming boggling. I don’t notice network latency at all! What wizardry did you leverage to make that possible?

I am curious have you done energy saving benchmarks?

Wow–this is next level! I only use a couple of cloud-heavy web apps, but I already see the huge value it offers, before even trying! If there's an invite code, I would love to try it out! Good luck y'all! Any info already on the pricing structure? Quick EDIT: the .dmg file might need to be signed still, as I'm seeing this: , when the installer was downloaded.
