AleSmith Cloud Stream Hazy IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Nice mix of tropical fruit with passionfruit, citrus, and some fainter berry notes. Well-balanced, medium body with some fruity sweetness and moderate bitterness mid-body that finishes relatively clean without much lingering. Solid.
BetaCraft has been a part of an amazing tech startup which changes the way everyone use apps. It's called AppSurfer and it was a proper roller coaster ride for all of us involved in it.
It was first called Raining Clouds and it brought apps to the clouds making it platform independent. This was in 2012 when a handful of entrepreneurs from India took up to change the way we all use apps. It was clearly ahead of time and rather than giving up on the idea these entrepreneurs kept their cool and kept on improving it.
Come present and the same technology is what seems to be the way forward with the ocean of apps which is there in the app-verse. Even though the no of apps used by an individual has grown, there is a pool of apps which could be used for the same purpose and could be explored. We need a way to have limitless and conditions access to all those apps in the world.
AppSurfer
AppSurfer removes the need for anybody to download or install an app in their device to be able to use it. This has huge implications to what it could mean to be using an app. It frees the user from constantly installing apps to use them. With AppSurfer one could now Instantly Access any app without the need to install them.
Imagine having to download every video you want to see on YouTube before you could watch them. It is clearly not the optimal way it could be done and that is why we have streaming for us to instantly watch whichever video we want to. This is the same ease which Appsurfer will bring to mobile apps. Instant Access.
The Betacraft way of doing it
Betacraft is the brains behind AppSurfer with the huge pool of knowledge and experience we have building products. We needed to eliminate any usage of physical resources from the device while the user used AppSurfer to launch an app. We built cloud streaming technology, we are calling App-Surf, which would stream your apps from AppSurfer cloud account freeing you from having the app on your device physically.
The implication
Not having to install an app on your phone has huge implications or should we say advantages. You have the complete control of your apps without the usual hassles like storage space limitations, privacy and most importantly the need to install an app removed.
AppSurfer allows the user to have:
#Instant Access: Apps virtually launch instantly without a delay as your apps don't need to download and install first.
#Security: Your account on the cloud means your apps and data are highly secure from physical and digital thefts.
#Privacy: Your private data on your device stays completely private from app's background data tracking.
#Storage: This is a no-brainer, having the apps physically on your device means that you have even more free storage space.
#Use Less Bandwidth: You save on your bandwidth by not having to download. Surprise!
The reason we are excited and you should be too
AppSurfer will change the mobile app experience for everyone. It would mark the beginning of an install-free app usage experience.
