We wrote the showoff client in Ruby. It's a light wrapper around SSH that helps manage accounts, SSH keys, &c.

Since Showoff is basically a fancy SSH tunnel, it should work with any kind of webserver. If there's enough interest, we'll probably bundle up client software in ways that don't depend on `gem install`.

Hey mtogo, good question.

We often develop sites on our laptops. The more complicated sites are, the more there is to sync around (databases, dependencies to install, version control commits, &c). Showoff is a quick way for us to get feedback from clients or each other without adding overhead to our development process.

FWIW, EPB offers gigabit broadband in Chattanooga TN where I live. I don't use it since it costs quite a bit more than $26, but it's nice to know it's available :)

I just tried to read this on my iPhone and it redirected me here: http://thetoshibatablet.com/mobile/apple.html

Such a shame :)

I'm in Chattanooga. Email me sometime: ben at orangesoda net

whois cloud2.com -> DNS01.SALESFORCE.COM :)

Not yet, but we we're toying with the idea of adding a real-time stats/zeitgeist page. Stay tuned to @MarkupIO on twitter for updates.

M.A. Turner did the design. He works at Medium (http://thisismedium.com/) with us. Usually we work for clients, but we've started some projects of our own like MarkUp.

Thanks for the feedback! I've added (1) to our bug list. Others have asked for (2), so we'll definitely be adding that sometime soon.

We capture the dimensions of the page when the toolbar loads. People viewing the MarkUp with different screen resolutions might see an "empty" background or need to scroll a bit.

Here's an example: http://markup.io/v/x9ybmz4e5k7r

Definitely. IE7+ support is on the way.
