What is a private service vs public service and why does it matter when the use case is always "run this script when required"?
The most important factors I think for a service like this are language support and price per request (or other resources).
Yes, pricing is something we're still debating on and hope to decide by next week - whether to a charge a flat rate per request or to make it dependent on computing resources used.
As for private vs public services, the wording could definitely be clearer - it basically determines if requests can be made to a service by anyone or if authentication and tokens are required. I understand the confusion tho, it came about as we were initially looking to create a GitHub of live APIs that would all be public however users told us they were more interested in hosting their own private code.
Yep, language support and pricing are massively important for us, we aim to get most other dynamic languages supported ASAP (ES6 and Python already there, Ruby on the way) and follow with compiled languages after (Go is top of the list).
Thanks again - super useful and would love to hear how you got on if you decided to deploy a service!
