Looks great, going to try it out. Some feedback: it seems I was able to do a private session on the free plan, but the error message indicates I've used 1 out of 0 private sessions.

I think it's important to be able to trial the private session. As I am doing work for my company, I don't want anyone else looking at the work, but I want to try out the product on something real.

Agreed. This looks like an awesome tool but I(and others I work with) want the ability to try it privately.

I did try though and was very impressed.

Right now we have soft limits- looks like it should stay that way.

This needs to be communicated better. I signed up, created a session, but when I tried to make the session private I got the message about being over the limit and assumed that the attempt to make the session private failed and it remained public, so I deleted it and that was the end of the tryout for me.

Also, I was alarmed that my session started off as publically listed and viewable as it was created from a private codebase. Ideally it wouldn't ever be public unless explicitly set to be.

Thanks for the feedback. As it turns out, getting the user experience right is harder than making it go.

We have now changed the default for new users of any sort to have 1 private workspace for free. Thanks for your feedback.

We will also change new workspaces to be private if at all possible given the user's limits.

Thanks very much, will retry the service.
