So it’s a “desktop” environment without any of the privacy or security of a desktop environment, written in javascript & css (ie cheap and slow), where all the data is stored on a cloud owned by a couple of dudes (they can snoop, sell, and cut off access to your data at any time), all without encryption?<p>Am I missing something or this a TERRIBLE idea? How does it keep showing up over and over again? Just about any developer could build something like this in under a month, it isn’t some novel idea.
I don’t mean to rain on a parade here I am always happy to see hobby projects, but the fact someone is investing in this and real money is being allocated seems ridiculous. The implications of anyone seriously thinking this is a reasonable cloud desktop environment are scary; people will get duped into being data harvested with no ownership of their data.
