I don't get it. How is this different from just screen sharing or watching a live stream? What would I gain from using this?

@lukestacey85 When you spin up a Giggl portal, you are given your own virtual web browser you can invite anyone to, and allow anyone to control. You can do anything you can do in a regular web browser, like watch movies or shows, browse Reddit, look through Medium articles, etc... This could be used for things such as movie nights, group tuition with students, or just having fun with your friends. We run on Google Cloud so our internet speeds are exceptionally faster than the average user's internet, and we only require a 3MBPS download speed to work, so you can browse in high-speed, even if your own connection is poor.

@slayter Ah interesting, so is there some sort of compression that you guys are doing on-the-fly on your own servers before it hits the users? Or are you guys a proxy (at the network level, if we strip out the other features)? Because if it's the latter I don't see how you get high-speed browsing over a poor connection. (I'd try to verify for myself but I can't seem to register :()
