Sorry that the service isn't actually available to play around with yet (it's in private beta). If you sign up for our beta list, we'll work to get you an invite as soon as we can.
That aside, what do you think of the idea and site? What isn't clear? What questions do we need to answer?
Thanks in advance for your help! Ben
How about some real world stats, showing that a particular app on a local machine takes X secs to run tests, while with devver it now only takes X
I've just started a new project and am really digging into test for the first time. Tests do seem overly slow, but I'm never sure if its something I'm doing wrong or what. Devver might not help me though as I'm on a horrendously slow connection.
A good point would be on the first screen to specify what kind of tests you are supporting: unit tests, rspec, features etc.
Good idea about specifying RSpec, etc on the front page.
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm no developer (actually an interactive copywriter), but I know enough about Ruby to hold a decent conversation.
I agree with timmah - you adequately convey what Devver does, but you're not really giving enough of a value proposition. It just needs a little more "sizzle" to show them why they really NEED to use Devver.
I'm sure some more coder-types will chime in here, but overall, I think it describes the service very well. Good luck!

Is there a way to specify how the tests are split across test machines or the order in which tests are run?
Or we might just spin it as a feature - we find order dependencies in your tests!
You're basically competing with LSF, which is well-supported but quite expensive. Maybe you should consider broadening to more languages?
In the future, we're certainly going to work to support more languages, but we felt it was important to focus on a single language early on.
