The AirState Manifesto

The internet once promised magic. Of minds meeting across oceans; collaboration at the speed of light. Somehow reality intervened and we lost that magic. Lag, screen sharing, awkward remote desktop solutions run rampant with embedded real-time being a rarity.

Even in 2025, building real-time is still too hard, too fragile and often too complex.

We're on a mission to restore that magic; to make building real-time effortless. It's what the web was always meant to be.
