hey we've been looking for this EXACT solution for ages and had no idea you guys existed...

Is Streem going to continue to live on as a separate product?

Ahhh!!! Congrats Ritik. Huge news and always nice to see good news from other Thiel Fellows :)

Really hope Streem continues to exist as an independent product or at least as a plugin on top of Box or something.

Good luck man!

Congrats man. I remember meeting you at the Meteor meetup and was thrilled with your vision (plus the balls to go with Meteor!). Good luck with your endeavors.

Now let's see something like this but with an open source protocol like Camlistore.

Still looking for a co-founder to tear this industry apart. Email's in profile.

And to further optimize the experience and support low-bandwidth environments, Streem has developed enhanced video and media streaming technology to ensure content is accessible from the cloud as fast as it is locally.

How is this technically possible?

Can Ritik comment on some insights into how StreemFS looks like ? Does it follow a nfs client-server model where the server then makes a request to the Streem servers to get back the data and also managing look ahead buffers etc ?
