Wow. I remember Amiga Anywhere. I was a big Amiga fan back in the day, and that was their big hope to be able to maintain relevance. Alas, it seems to be the way of all cool tech to eventually get discarded in favor of the less capable mainstream.


Glad to see this idea finally come to fruition - I tried getting this exact same thing off the ground last year with no success, but hoping you'll be able to succeed where I failed!


I don't have any stories myself, but always look to Nivi and Naval at Venturehacks / AngelList for this kind of info... Might be worth reaching out to them?


thanks for the pointer!
