That's a nice diagram! Yeah that's roughly it. We'll be adding support for more sources of truth in the future to expand coverage, like the ones you mention but also NoSQL like MongoDB

Good question -- the primary difference is the method of integration with Postgres. ZomboDB is a Postgres extension, which limits their compatibility with Postgres serivces like AWS RDS, while Retake is compatible with any service where you

In December 2022, we shut down Whist after ~3 years. For those who didn't know us, we were a Mighty competitor, building a cloud-streamed browser. I spent a long time reflecting on what happened, our successes and mistakes, and compile

Whether you have 1 cloud tab or 100 cloud tabs, the resource utilization on your machine will be the same. If you open more local tabs, though, those will take up RAM/CPU on your machine.

Charging a subscription fee is the primary way for which we would pay for cloud compute time -- but we're thinking there will be a version of Whist which will have very limited amount of compute time and be free (a sort of free trial i

Potentially! We could make this happen, it probably wouldn't even be that much work. It's more of a question of whether enough people/companies would be interested in self-hosting, which is something we'll keep an eye ou

The Whist privacy guarantee is that we've engineered our system so that no one, not even us, can see what's going on in your cloud tabs. We'll be releasing a blog post about how our system is engineered, stay tuned! Privacy i

Whist and Mighty are similar in that they are browsers that offer cloud-offloading. Whist differs by being built in a native browser on your computer, rather than being fully offloaded to the cloud, and supports both local and cloud tabs (s
