We do have rolling out Linux machines in our roadmap, hopefully quite soon.

Thanks for the feedback about fullscreen mode I agree it is annoying. We haven't yet figured out a simple way to communicate that choice but it's absolutely necessary.

Regarding security: This is obviously a question we get a lot. We're providing you with an isolated VM, it's not a shared resource. Only you have access to it. We are basically managing backups for your data as file system volumes. We don't have any further access to it. Dropbox was pre-installed for convenience but I see how that may be suspicious.

It may seem that way but I assure you it's not. You can tell by comparing our prices to workspaces and see that we're more affordable. When we started to work on vagon we did consider using Workspaces under the hood but opted to develop our own infrastructure on top of EC2 and our own display protocol instead of using Teradici PCoIP like Workspaces.

Yes, we built vagon on top of AWS with goal of eventually supporting multiple cloud providers. Our thinking is there's already a reliable, state of the art network of datacenters around the globe for our consumption, it makes sense to use it.

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.

You are correct to assume we position ourselves to serve individuals. Because of this if you spin up 35 workstations, that would unfortunately mean 35 different subscriptions for storage. And yes currently the subscription price is pro-rated for the whole month.

Currently we only have the browser only client to connect to your workstation with native clients in development.

This being our beta launch, obviously we've a lot to learn and adapt about our customers so your feedback has been very useful.

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.
