Really exciting project that could deeply change the way we think about software.
I've been part of the Alpha group on Deta Space and I love the team and the core mission!
With separate contexts for my personal projects vs work, I'm able to focus in on one area. Compared with Chrome profiles, this really is a different kettle of fish because of the AI chat integrations in the "Ask" feature. I feel like my browser is more 'alive'. TBH I have not yet done tons with Stuff, but it's useful for screenshots.
Excellent space. Intuitive and usefful
Very usefull for side projects. Small limitations on Micros(deta's server hosting) like no websockets support etc. Comes with a minimal Database and Drive. All for free!
It is a decent app, congrats on launching it. It is not an OS, but a web app. Unless the "OS" is ran on their servers and sent to the client. Or being ran on a virtual machine with a .ICO file. Would recommend though
It's NOT an operating system. It's a website that can create windows inside a webpage and buttons. So far, it's a cute toy. It would be way cooler if it ran as a full-on program. I'll keep an eye on it.
I am very impressed by this product. I liked the new canvas feature that allows me to add boards and keep track of app updates. It is a unique product. A game changer kind of product I would say. All the best for your future endeavours.
I used to be a huge fan of Deta. They offered THE easiest way to setup a web server, database and storage in the cloud to provide a fully fledged backend as a service. It was a generous and performant free offering. All I wanted was a similarly easy auth service and a paid pro tier to know that this is something I can build projects on top of.
Then they started to transition to space, which now evolves into space OS. Chances are I simply don't understand the product anymore or maybe I'm not part of the new target audience. I wish you all the best for the future. Maybe I will understand the concept sometime soon. For now, I simply miss the old offering and what Deta used to be.
