Hey HN!

vagon is a personal cloud-computer that is built to help creatives with flexible performance. Architects, CAD designers, video editors, animators, researchers - they all need powerful computers to create things and that’s what we are trying to provide. Our goal is to make running graphics software such as Adobe or Autodesk products possible even from a Chromebook or a veteran Macbook Air.

After a lot of hard work, we've finally launched our beta. We’d love to hear your feedback and recommendations to make it better!

Through our web app, you can - create your personal vagon computer, - install your software, - sync your files, and use it as you use any other computer.

You can access your vagon anywhere - you only need a stable connection and a computer to use it.

P.S: We are currently on Product Hunt, you can visit our post and get a 2 months free coupon code to get you started right away.

How do you differentiate from Paperspace Workstream[0] or Parsec Teams[1]?

Just a thought -- chromebooks are often being used in school setting as a cheap alternative to having an expensive Macbook Pro or something equivalent.

A student discount could go a long way.

We're working on it right now :) we plan to announce it in the coming weeks. Glad to see it makes sense to other people as well.

Who pays for the Windows licenses? Do I have to provide my own when setting up the VM?
