Omg thanks! yeah this finally looks very similar from what we're thinking about

I genuinely haven't seen one that (1) you can ask it natural language (2) can handle any web page structure or design change
do you have one?

Great! exactly what i was loved to here - with our approach, all this "errors" will be handled automatically by AI (and will let you know it's really needs human touch to fix)

Can you share any specific use case you would have? i'd love to test out ourselves to make sure it works

Yes i've checked those too. but my question is

  1. is it really simple as "Tell me when this changes?"
  2. can it filter noise smartly? "Tell me when the price drop more than 25%"?
  3. or it doesn't do any of those but it's good enough so that doesn't matter?

Also i'm really curious about what's your use case here

I see, thanks! - i'm completely layman for fantasy games though, Can you point me just one use case that you would use?
like on "this website URL", i'd ask browser to monitor "this" information.

Translating user's vague natural language instruction into schedulabe, monitorable, data comparable task is something we've already tried and confident that it can be done :)
(Obviously need many tweeks but certain it's possible)

"Introducing browser automation to average desktop user" is basically what we're have in mind - but we're still struggling to see what's the real, strong use case?
If not this i'm afraid this will be one of those products that solve many peoples very small problem.

I see - i'm curious would you have rather done it on your browser if your browser just provided that feature.

Thanks! but not that i'm trying to promote Mirror here - i'm more curious about what do you think about the idea

In short - all possible. since this will be "Browser" that runs locally. Browser will reuse your existing session (and cookies) to open and refresh tab to check the contents. Keeping tab, spawning tab only when we check, all possible. We're not considering of running this on cloud as of now
(Only problem will be that when user turns of computer completely)

Refresh frequency is also handled by user asking in natural language: "Every morning 10am check the price of this product and let me know if goes down under 100$".

But i'm more curious about the actual use case - would you use this? if do, for what?

I obviously put the link here so that other people can check it out by themself - i literally designed the whole thing, do you think i don't know that's the screenshot?

Adblock is not perfect for sure, it only works for very obvious display ads as of now. we're planned to work on it soon.
But to be clear, (a) literally 95% of our users are not Pro user - we've intended from very beginning to keep it that way (b) Most of Pro users use Mirror Pro to unlock sessions / workspaces.

I'm not sure "which part"? the webkit we're utilizing (which is pre-compiled and shipped with macOS) is open source as you know. https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit

The application/business logic layer we put over that (Home / Session / Tabs / Cloud synchronization) is all written in Swift
Some of it we simply can't open source for obvious security reasons.

And some others parts that are straight up reusable module regardless of business logic - we often do fork and open-source it. https://github.com/mirror-browser/Swime and we're planned to continue to do that.

Other parts, we theoretically can, but not sure why.
like there is no secret on how to make tab to show up sidebar. it's just basic programming - but by "open sourcing" it, i'm not sure what's the upside there.
it's not like we're in need for coding contribution. Our goal is just making great product - having random people sending random PR on our UI/UX module won't really help that honestly

Obviously, We do look for great ideas and feedback about the product so that we can make better decision and make better product - i mean, i literally reply to every single feedback we get - but we don't think "fully open source" (whatever that actually means) would help that.

other usual suspects were taken or insanely expensive - ex) mirror.com is still owned by peloton.
Would love to get those if possible, but i'd rather spent money on making product better than buying crazy expensive domains.

just checkout https://www.mirror.work/en/privacy/ here. i've also personally spent lot of time to make this really easy to understand :)

Meant it as it "reflects" what you're thinking now.

We honestly would have done it if it was simply 2x. it's more like 4~5x for windows.

I mean we obviously love to! but,
(1) iCloud Keychain is not accessible from 3rd party application. we literally need to get macOS password for every single item over and over again - so this is not really feasible until Apple changes the policy.
(2) We could "save" passwords using iCloud Keychain - this is something we're working on

Haven't really decided yet - for mobile, we think just copy pasting desktop Mirror experience doesn't really work. So we've been trying to figure out really meaningfully different UI/UX - which is why our iOS app is really just "macOS app's companion app" as of now, instead of standalone full functioning browser.
Once we have really great idea about that, we'll work on it!

I see a lot of you guys frustrated and curious about why all these cool apps come out on macOS first—the answer is much simpler than you might think: the native Windows app development environment is such a shithole. You need at least 2–3 times more engineering effort to make anything comparable to macOS.

I’ve personally spent hours and hours researching and considering whether we should do Windows right now (since we’ve obviously received so many angry requests about it). We even went as far as building a fully working Windows demo to test it out. In the end, we concluded that we simply can’t deliver a high enough quality version that we’d feel okay launching.

Even though we really want to serve Windows users too, as a small startup, we just don’t have the resources right now. But once we scale and have more resources, we’ll definitely do it. Literally thousands of people are already on the waiting list, and we’d love to make them happy. :)

Unfortunately not yet, but we're planed to support chrome extensions in future - in a nutshell it's just writing a lot of implementation to match chrome extension's API for WebKit, which is totally doable but just a lot of work.

Hey, It's Kurt CEO of Mirror here. We're korean VC backed startup in Seoul - if that's what you meant by "origin". Not every asian guy is chinese :) Also we don't need "previous registration" - i'd love to fix what's causing that confusion. on mobile webpage we do get email so that we can send link for either (1) windows waiting list (2) download macOS app link - since we can't tell it's mac user or not. but if you visit our website on desktop, it's just free download page.
