What do you think? …

Cool to see more products in this space. Have you experimented streaming from Windows machines on AWS EC2 service?
Andrew Sampson
@tiivik We played around with EC2 a bit, we will be posting some official guides on our blog on how you can get it up and running on cloud servers.
Rainer Selvet
@andrewmd5 Awesome! Will be looking forward to this :)

I've tried to sign in and list the games on iPhone (Safari & Chrome) but it keeps loading and no any result. Is mobile not supporting? Also, there is a responsiveness issue on the page.
Andrew Sampson
@rufatmammadli We should have a patch out this coming week to address some mobile browser issues.

Does the web client work for Mac? It says "Unable to connect to Rainway by websocket: It looks like you've never run Rainway before. Please download it from https://rainway.io on a Windows 10 PC before using this client.." Do I just need to do this once?
Andrew Sampson
@adrian_carolli The web client works great on mac! As the message states, you should download the server onto a Windows 10 PC. The client is then used to access that PC to play your games.

@andrewmd5 Hmmm is this like remote desktop? Can my brother be playing overwatch (for example) on the same desktop that I host the rainway server while I also play using the web client? Or can there only be one player at a time?
Andrew Sampson
@adrian_carolli We're currently building a streamlined coop experience into our platform. Right now however if you wanted to say play Cuphead with your brother, he could be sitting at the PC playing with one controller while you remote in via the client. You would just be the one that has to start the game.
Jordan Krueger
why is the site so obtuse about exactly what the service is? Took me registering and opening the web client to realize that I had to have a PC to download the server on?
Andrew Sampson
@jordankrueger Hi Jordan, any suggestions for how we could improve it?
Jordan Krueger
@andrewmd5 As someone who can't use the service (I only have a Mac) I still don't quite understand what it is you're selling here. You say "stream all your games" in one area, so all I can figure out is that this is a way to play the games I currently own on a mobile device. You're just making some perplexing choices, like showing this big list of games in a Rainway window – it made me think this was a Steam-like service where I could play any game that you license on my mobile device. Moreover, it seems like the way you're using the term "streaming games" that you feel like that's a signaler to readers of how this works, but I had no idea what that meant. "Streaming games have never been this easy!" is the second sentence on the page and I have no idea what that means, while the next sentence is "Rainway makes streaming games so easy you'll be playing in just a few clicks." which means almost exactly the same thing as the sentence before it without explaining any more clearly what the service is. Howabout something like "Download Rainway to your PC to play games installed on your computer on any mobile device" or something like that? Also, adding "(PC)" to the "Download server" button seems like it'd make most sense since you're pushing a file directly to me without any idea that I need a PC to use it until it's already on my computer.

@jordankrueger This service is for PC gamers with and existing collection of games looking to stream them to other devices. Thanks for the feedback however, I will try and apply it appropriately.
Rudy Lee
Amazing concept! I love the promotional video, it is very well done :)

Oh god it's OnLive all over again
Andrew Sampson
@productpearson While OnLive was a bit ahead of its time, Rainway is a self-hosted platform. This means you can use your existing hardware, internet and games without paying extra money.
