Clever, but what would you use it for?

hjwp34• 13 years ago

Thanks! We were thinking it would be useful for people posting solutions to stackoverflow questions, and also maybe people doing remote-pair-programming, as a way of sharing code with an interactive terminal to work through ideas... Or perhaps for people writing tutorials...

Why, to play Rock, Paper, Scissors, of course!

it's fun watching curious people snooping around! !cat /etc/passwd would you eh?

Awesome. Not to mention that even tab/auto-complete works.

Nice work, and I wish you success.

In the same space, I recently discovered http://c9.io , which I'm pretty happy with overall. Very rich feature-set, and it seems to be open source. (I say "seems" because I haven't checked to see if the OSS code is enough to replicate the site on my own hosting.) Although I've had some squirrelly save/load behaviour, which was concerning.

Thanks! We're keeping an eye on Cloud9, they look like a really interesting company in the same space as us...

It seems like a cool service, are you charging enough though?

I made a site in a similar vein a few years ago but it never really caught on. Maybe we should chat.

Thanks! Yes, we think we need a couple of higher-end plans. The current price points are perfect for learners and low-bandwidth/low-CPU side projects, but something higher-end would probably make it more useful and help our bottom line too :-) Would love to chat, drop me a line at giles@pythonanywhere.com.
