The IDE is the first step. Our vision is to provide a set of tools so that your runtime is on the cloud (but can be sync'ed offline) and you can use whatever editor that you're most comfortable with.
Is everything going to be done "like a boss" or only tailing log files?
all the things
We are different in that we also provide a full GNU/Linux VM that you have direct SSH access to, so you are not limited to using the web-based IDE.
That's pretty cool and reflects how I've been planning to setup for a while now on a linode via ssh. What kind of pricing can we expect?
I see it as they made an early exit and focused on the half of their system that seemed more promising income-wise. There is still a space for the all-in-one market, and frankly it's wide open. Environment + IDE + Deployment in one place definitely has a niche.
Why don't we live on the edge and do stuff in production machine? Environment, IDE, Deployment in one place (^_^)
