Are you a developer?

Most of the pieces exist as open source (assuming VNC is good enough for you), wrapping a nice GUI around them using something like wxPython might not be to hard.

It's an interesting idea for sure. I've been fiddling around with tunneling VNC over PageKite (my project) a bit, but it hadn't yet resulted in anything I'd call a "product vision". This post brings me quite a few steps closer to that. Too bad my TODO list is already rather long...

If you are interested and able to do some coding, I could probably be talked into helping out and providing some infrastructure. ;-)

I am. I have my own startup to worry about though!

It's very tempting because I think it's the kind of thing that could see Dropbox-like success and there is a bunch of open source code to borrow from.
