Congrats to all the founders!

First Etherpad and now Stypi, looks like this area is ripe for further disruption.

How is Stypi different from Etherpad?

Etherpad got acquired by Google, Stypi got acquired by Salesforce.

but how are the actual products different?...

Stypi has support for code formatting and syntax highlighting, and lets you play back all your edits. To my knowledge etherpad did not have these features.

Etherpad had playback (there was some famous instance of Paul Graham recording his entire process of writing an article).

Wow, that was fast. (9 months?). Congratulations.

Congrats Jason and Byron. Glad that the product will live on - Stypi is great for asking short coding questions during Skype/telephone interviews. Everyone I've interviewed using Stypi has said something positive about it.

Congrats Jason and Byron. You guys deserve it. Salesforce is lucky to have you.

Congrats guys! Seriously awesome to see you acquired.

Do you mind if I ask how many users you has when acquired? How did you first come across sales force radar?

Not sure what this product offers over the (awesome) work done by ShareJS and ACE already. Looks like stypi is using both those products for it's core functionality

This is clearly a talent acquisition.

Sort of saddens me,these guys came to pick-up where Etherpad guys left and change the online writing. And after first release there was no major update.

Great. Now I'll never get my collaborative vim plugin :-(
