Be Mighty

In order to bring to life the unprecedented power and speed of the Mighty browser, we used an action-packed combination of CG animation, memes, live action visual effects, a score to make Spike Jones’s head spin, and our founder’s sultry pipes. The result is a mind-melting masterjam of sight and sound.

A Better, Safer Experience

Meditate upon this: If you make an app but users can’t log into it, have you even really made an app? OK, yes, but wouldn’t it be better to use Auth0 for a smooth, secure login experience? This video says: ALSO YES.
