Over the last few decades desktop computers have gotten faster. Yet the paradigms for building, designing, distributing, and even using desktop applications has remained unstandardized.
We think the ecosystem for desktop applications is broken -- so we built Instant Apps.

We're pushing desktop applications to the edge, literally! We virtualize apps at our edge data centers and run them on top of the line hardware (NVIDIA A40s, AMD Epyc, etc.) and then stream them to you!
No more waiting for downloads, updates, or system upgrades.

Using our API you can even push builds of your own software to our infrastructure to distribute it to members your organization or select individuals such as press or influencers for marketing purposes.
All they have to do is click a link and they can access your app anywhere.

Because our hardware is doing all the heavy lifting you can seamlessly scrub and edit 8K footage on a $300 Chromebook without missing a beat. The predictive input rendering technique we invented for our gaming service allows all mouse input to feel native. https://rainway.com/gaming/support/tech-answers/what-is-predictive-input-rendering/
Imagine hitting CTRL+S in VSCode and having the latest build of your game hot reload on a powerful machine so your local developer environment remains stable. You'll be able to code, review, and ship from anywhere.
That is just a sample of our roadmap.

And we don't want to replace your browser. Instant Apps works with Edge, Chrome, Safari, Brave, Firefox, Opera, and more. You can even stream Chrome into Edge if you're looking to accelerate your web applications for your team.
Our streaming technology is best-in-class. It is trusted by Microsoft for Xbox Cloud Gaming and has been tested by Intel's gaming lab and was deemed the best solution for real-time video streaming. Even our message serialization is the fastest there is. https://github.com/RainwayApp/bebop
Our roadmap for Instant Apps and our App Services platform is ambitious but will unlock endless opportunities for makers and non-makers alike. We're the future of desktop computing. If you're interested in taking it for a spin reach out on our website. https://rainway.com/
footnote: this thread shows an early preview of the service. In the future things like the Windows file picker and other UI elements will be entirely client side making the desktop app feel web native.
We're building a real-time streaming subsystem for Windows (and Linux)
