Running an iOS simulator in the browser is different from using a browser to connect to an iOS simulator on a server. That said, this is still cool!

My only question is how you're going to combat abuse. You're basically providing free servers in the demo. The economics of doing that means no amount of captcha will save you (it's been tried many times).

Even if you don't provide a demo and charge for simulating, you're buying into a whole new problem of metering while maintaining a sane price. Comments?

That said, congratulations on shipping working software!


hi tuscany,

all solid points, and thanks for your support.

we will definitely need to think through abuse, server costs, etc. it's a pretty lean setup but still gotta run on mac hardware :)
