@borker Hey Ryan, PM from Wildcard here. There have been a number of failed attempts at launching browsers in the past-- like Rockmelt, and Flock-- but those were desktop apps that attempted to enable web browsing + some other layer of functionality (mostly, social via OAuth). Wildcard is pretty different from those-- most notably, it enables browsing of cards, not web pages. There are a ton of advantages to cards, but the biggest difference is they are part of a native mobile internet-- not just the web rendered on mobile devices. More technical background in our docs: http://www.trywildcard.com/docs
TL;DR- Rockmelt tried to take existing functionality (web browsing) and tack on a new layer (social). Wildcard is enabling entirely new functionality.
