Well presented. It looks like it might hit the target audience very well, I'd say.

The site itself loads really slow. Makes a bad first impression for a platform service.

Thanks for the feedback. There are definitely front end performance tweaks we could make to improve the load time of our marketing site. Right now, however, the platform itself is our main area of attention :)

doesn't the marketing site run on the platform? what about "eat your own dogfood?" :)

The site is taking over 5 seconds to load, and the signup page is down. Don't make excuses, that's not acceptable. You have to understand that we don't judge your service by looking at the code you write, we judge it by any means we can, which unfortunately includes whether your own site is accessible, design (yes), writing (your writing has quite a few spelling mistakes in it, no biggie but it helps if it hasn't), what others write about it etc.. All thoroughly unfair. Don't take it bad, but that's the way it works.

Then, AFTER we sign up (if we ever do), we can judge it by how well it works.

Good luck!

It would be nice if anyone had an option for deploying with mercurial. Purely anecdotal of course, but most of my PHP chums run hg as well. I know there's hg-git but for all the hassle it took to set up, I may as well have just used git itself.

(Incidentally, I was quite interested in this originally, but while waiting for an invite I ended up bodging together something on Amazon myself. Amusingly enough, my invites for phpfog, orchestra and dotcloud all came within 2 days of deploying!)

We have support for mercurial that we are in the process of test at the moment. When it's available, we'll announce on our blog: http://blog.orchestra.io/

If you'd tweeted us, we would have bumped you up the list :(
