Hi Hunters! One day I looked at all the tabs I had open in my browser windows, and just decided to launch a new one, not even checking if I already had Twitter open. When I finally got to Twitter, I noticed that it's kind of interesting that Twitter takes up the whole screen, because my browser does. Then, I wondered why my laptop's fan was on, and why my battery drained so fast. Turns out, most apps today are huge. Flotato is not, in fact, Twitter in Flotato takes up a mere 10% of the memory Twitter in Chrome takes up. The app size is tiny, too. Trello's app is 14 times as big as Trello for Flotato. So anyway, I've been enjoying using it, so I thought I'd share with everyone here. It's free to use, but if you want to run a lot of apps at the same time, you can grab the Pro version at the price of a round of drinks, and even less with the code HUNTER, which gives you 30% off!

@mortenjust Would love to buy but the HUNTER code seems to be overused and no longer valid.

@mortenjust what about privacy?
Fatih Turan
What about the privacy? I didn't see any statement about privacy on your web site.
David Packles
Agree! @mortenjust thoughts here?

Really cool idea, I just downloaded to try it with a couple sites and apps, and want to check in regarding the privacy and security around storing the user credentials. (More specifically, Instagram and Twitter) Don't see any privacy policy & terms of service. Could you please elaborate on this? @mortenjust

One of the most useful mac apps that I have used so far. I have shifted most of my apps to Flotato, like twitter, slack, jira, whatsapp, etc. They work beautifully and without eating a lot of RAM on my system.

Pros:

Perfect replacement for a 1000 tabs or memory hungry apps for my Mac. Love it so far.

Cons:

None. Have some feature requests, will keep posting them.

Witchcraft. I love it!

Liked the idea, application loading is pretty fast. It will be nice to have an option for "Always on top", which will help keeping youtube or twitter always floating on top of other applications. On youtube, it will be nice to have a picture in picture mode, such that only player is visible.

@chetan_sachdev This feature is there. Shitf + CMD + P

@csaba_kissi Thanks fo sharing this hidden shortcut. Is there any shortcut for enabling pip mode(picture in picture) on youtube? So far I am just loving the experience of using Flotato, I could open twitter, trello and youtube and all works seamlessly. What technology stack you are using behind the scenes to make this happen?

@chetan_sachdev it's not hidden, it's in the Window menu.
