Nice to see this product. I can see myself (and orgs) paying for a butter-smooth development experience.

That said, both compute and bandwidth are expensive. How can you afford such a generous forever-free plan? Is there a catch?

[igniteram]

There is no catch, think of us more of a google, apple app store equivalent to desktop apps where we intend to make money through the desktop apps publishers as we grow.

Why would publishers pay us? They dont have to worry about piracy and users environment as everything is sandboxed.

With us they can give on demand pay-as-you-go option to users as opposed to expensive annual licenses.

I signed up, but I don't see a hook to spawn any of the listed applications.

For example, opening https://neverinstall.com/apps/intellij on Firefox just shows a low-resolution screen shot with a list of features, and no CTA.

How do I use neverinstall?

[igniteram]

There should be a launch button in the left section. Are you still not able to launch the app?

[vishnumohandas]

Signed out and signed back in. No "launch button" still.

EDIT: I was able to launch an app after disabling my ad-blocker, but

- the latency for clicks/keystrokes was > 1000ms (despite choosing a server within the same country)

- the video resolution was poor (despite fast.com claiming 240Mbps)

- the app window was stuck to the bottom right corner and I could not get it to fill my screen

- the app kept picking up ghost key strokes ("key" would result in "keeeeeey")

All this aside, I appreciate the intent behind creating this product. From an engineering perspective some improvements are warranted, and I'm sure you guys will get there. All the best. :)
