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.

Pros
+ AI chat integrations (1)+ separate contexts (1)+ useful for screenshots (1)

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

Cons
not an operating system (2)

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.

Cons
not an operating system (2)

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.

Pros
+ canvas feature (1)

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.

Pros
+ free tier (2)
Cons
transition to space OS (1)
