I admire anyone who builds anything but, with respect... what unsolved problem does this solve? I can already program Python anywhere where I have a laptop or remote SSH session. And that's basically anywhere I want already. And in the situations where I can't have a laptop or SSH session, I almost always won't have a web browser either.

I might try using this to teach Python to kids in our homeschool group. I haven't kicked the tires yet, but it sounds like it might be a really easy way to get a bunch of sharable environments set up for a class.

I submitted this a week ago and I titled it "Python Anywhere. Share Python/Bash/SQL console instances.".

Easy pair programming or tutoring on a shared REPL, VIM or some other editor is what I see as the main selling point of it.
