Mighty

@oncejean Hey Jean, yeah, I can see how that's frustrating. We contemplated what a launch might mean in our case. We're kind of this hybrid software and hardware company. We must buy and capacity plan building lots of custom servers (unlike pure software) and must do so across the world to achieve low latency. That means it's tough to scale instantly world-wide without Google-level resources. We could've done a pre-order like a hardware company might but I felt that was unnecessary. When the software is available, you can buy it then vs risking an unfulfilled promise. We're live in California/NYC and onboarding users as fast as we scale to the capacity. We'd prefer not to burn out like most hardware companies by over purchasing hardware. All this together is exacerbated by the chip shortage where lead times on servers are now 10+ weeks out.

@suhail I appreciate the elaborate answer. Maybe a quick heads up that you're only live for now in NY and CA ;) I like the idea but would love to see more than a landing page, that's all. I guess I'll have to be a bit more patient ;)

@oncejean I am pretty committed to going live and self-serve by early next year fwiw opening up region by region. Let me know where you're roughly located and I'll make myself a reminder.

@suhail I'm usually in NYC but currently in London. So I guess I'll be able to test it once I'm back. Thx :)

@oncejean @suhail I don't understand why do you need to buy hardware? why don't you just rent servers? Is it to save resources on the long term? but that would also cost you much more initially and would require more maintenance efforts!

@suhail Excited to finally see Mighty hit Product Hunt! I've been following the Mighty hype on Twitter and, it was about time!

@suhail congrats on the launch. How much does Mighty rely on perfect internet connection?
