As long as Mighty keeps providing a better experience than the local browser on the average user's own device, they'll have utility for a significant number of people. Developers still need to provide satisfactory-enough performance to the bulk of their audience. Mighty is for the users in the right tail who are willing to pay for better-than-satisfactory. There's no reason to believe that right tail will ever disappear.
- yellowbanana 5y agoYes and mighty will keep increasing prices as the developers can now ship any horribly optimized thing. Mighty can succeed yes, but it's success would be bad for the ecosystem. Centralized processing of all computing, would just make current issues like censorship, security issues worse.
- tomhoward 5y ago> developers can now ship any horribly optimized thing No, they can't. Only the right-tail power users will ever pay for this. Unless almost all of a product's users are in that group, the developers still need to offer satisfactory performance to the rest of their users, or be vulnerable to a new competitor. > Centralized processing of all computing, would just make current issues like censorship, security issues worse. People keep saying this. I doubt even Mighty believes they or their paradigm will take over "all computing" - just the niche that really needs it. Even a small market share can make them a big/successful company, but without making the whole internet significantly more centralised than it already is. I don't get the panic.
