Two questions:

1. How is this different from Syncthing and similar solutions? Syncthing is free, open-source, cloud agnostic and easy to use to accomplish what seems to be the same task as Moonglow. 2. What is serverless about this? It is not clear from the pitch above.

1. It looks like Syncthing is an application that lets you sync files? Moonglow runs one layer below - we call cloud apis for you, to set up and connect you to a remote Jupyter kernel.

2. I think the serverless here is actually pretty literal - you don't have to think about or spin up a Jupyter server. We normally describe it as 'run local jupyter notebooks on your own cloud compute,' which I think might be a little more clear.
