Ajit from BrowserBox team here.
The core premise of BrowserBox and Mighty is similar - virtualize and run browsers on the server. Mighty is desktop app meant for end users. BrowserBox's API is for developers who can integrate it into apps or build custom apps using the platform. In the long run, one can potentially build a Mighty like app using BBX APIs. It is still early days and looking for active feedback from the community to see where it can go.

This is refreshingly fast! Definitely going to try typesense in my projects.

I love it too. Drag-n-drop and collapsing them makes managing tabs so much easier. Its hard to navigate tabs in a browser without it!

Using Sieve it is possible to monitor any kind of webpage. It should be possible to monitor websites that require you to log in to check updates too.

At its core, the essential work is to detect changes important to the user. Adding summarization techniques to further weed out the noise would be a very important improvement.

Liked this suggestion. Unfortunately the domain names getsiv.com and sivapp.com are taken.
Edit: siv.io could be nice.

Thats an excellent suggestion. We do have plans to modularize the browser component to offer browser as a web service.

It is not possible select content using iframes due to client-side security restrictions imposed by the browser.

Thanks for your kind words. The stack is a mix of both. Browser runs on the server and sends updates to the client via websocket. Then it is painted on the client. On the client-side a part of noVNC js library is used to capture input and is sent to the browser running on the server.

Ah IE5! It has been a very long wait. :) We are hard at work to launch Sieve. Optimistically we should be ready in a couple of months.

Thanks for the great feedback. :)
Getting started would certainly be much simple when using screenshot or page HTML for comparison. Sieve could do that too! More work needs to be done to make startup faster.
On the other hand having filtered text provides multiple advantages. The filtering becomes accurate. It can be used to compute rules to take conditional actions. Notifications delivery via email and SMS would make more sense as well.
Running a browser on server enables another cool function. User could record macro and run the macro when text satisfied a pre-condition.
Edit: typo

Thanks. I like sifter. Going to check if it is available.

Glad that you liked the concept. Wasn't aware of the unfortunate name collision. I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

Hello HN! I am excited to show Sieve. Its in alpha state and under active development.
Would appreciate your feedback. Checkout Visual Selector used to let user filter content from a webpage.
