I'm no designer, but I can feel the pain whenever I pan around a huge figma project in Chrome.

Imagine all the enterprise customers who'd be willing to pay for this so their designers and engineers can be more productive.



Let's say this ends up being 30$/month (I've no idea how much it will cost, but I saw this number floated above).

Let's say you replace employee machines every 2 years.

Doesn't it make more sense to just spend 720$ extra per employee on hardware? It'll be a much better experience, with much less risk (what if mighty is unsustainable and closes down?), and that machine will still have value in 2 years, unlike throwing money at a cloud subscription.


Fwiw, I still feel the pain on a top of the line 16" MBP. For many tech workers, a laptop is what they get, and what they rely on in terms of portability vs performance trade off. Using this is probably more convenient than getting beefier hardware, which I suspect is gonna have to be a bulky souped up workstation.


Oh dear god, designers aren't going to start making webpages designed to run in this monstrosity, are they?
