The whole concept of this browser is really great. It would solve a lot of my problems regarding where to properly store topics I'm doing research on (since I'm a student and knowledge junkie I tend to just dig for 10-15 resources and never get to reading them)

My main question is what's your businesses model? You monetization plan?



Thanks! Our plan right now is to do a perpetual fallback license for $50 when we can prove the browser is something people want. We could make the browser free later on if we can provide paid features that require us to run servers.

prove the browser is something people want for free


Charging for a browser sounds crazy to me.


Crazy? I’m curious how you would characterize a cloud-based web browser that is sold using a subscription model?

I'd buy a browser if it guarantees me privacy, is fast, and does the job. I use a browser every day for multiple hours per day, $50 seems very reasonable.


Sure, but a wrapper around Electron isn't a hard thing to copy, and they've got to go from a neat tech demo to what you are describing.


Also what's your stand point about privacy?
