| about: | We're a small team of ten. Backend, frontend, ARM virtualization, and one of us awkwardly doubles as ops. First version shipped in July 2025. It's been about eight months. What we're building: Full Android instances running on ARM servers, streamed directly to a browser. Open a tab, you get a phone. No physical devices, no cables, no charging 100 machines on rotation. Why: A friend was running a cross-border e-commerce shop. He had three walls of phones—charging, swapping IPs, constantly worrying about bans. I asked myself: Do people actually want the boxes, or just the Android environment inside? The answer was obvious. So we built this. Where we are now: The product works. People are using it—cross-border e-commerce, TikTok ops, app testing, even remote work. Our users found the use cases before we did. We've collected more scars than features: streaming latency, fingerprint simulation, the "trust problem" with AI-generated scripts, and that time we redesigned the UI and got roasted by power users. Still early. No glory. But every day, real users tell us what sucks. That's worth more than praise. Why I'm on HN: Looking for kindred spirits. If you're building anything that digitizes physical infrastructure—cloud devices, streaming, automation, or just breaking things that should've been virtual long ago—I'd love to talk. War stories, unsolved problems, or just mutual venting. All welcome. |
