This is Mighty out-performing an Apple M1 laptop for graphics in the browser. We're about 2x faster. I think we could be a lot faster (something is probably misconfigured) but haven't had a chance to prioritize it.
I added a lofi beat I made to the video. Enjoy:
I mostly wanted to demonstrate how we can help push the browser to enable new kinds of apps in the future.
1/ I think about this a lot: “I think the world is so big that you can have many simultaneous network effects, each of which is huge.”
I think we will continue to see huge companies for previously niche seeming markets and companies who owned entire markets, cease to.
2/ For instance: you can have centralized & decentralized software—even if one is inferior in certain ways. Browsers can focus on different segments (consumers vs workers). Premium vs mass consumer software.
3/ The last few decades of software have made us think that there’s only 1-2 winners which was more the case when the Internet was smaller but this new decade may require less zero sum thinking amongst competitors.
Genuine question: if things aren’t really decentralized on blockchains (due to distribution centralizing ala Coinbase, OpenSea, etc), what is the primary benefit of any web3 application otherwise?
Fwiw, I am absolutely willing to believe (or assume) that things like IPFS get faster, gas approaches zero, the EVM's becomes more powerful at computation, etc.
