Hopefully this question isn't so out of line, but why is this service and services like coderpad.io so expensive for simple interviews? With coderpad, $50/month for at most 20 interviews with one account. With codeblimp, $14/session. What's the deal? For the probably intended use-case (a screening interview), it seems too expensive.<p>Maybe I'd be more attracted if there was a free limited version that just shared an editor window. But we have collabedit for that.
It would be nice to have a video demo of it on the homepage. I would like to get a high level overview without having to try it out myself.<p>Do people ask interviewees to code a node.js website during phone screens. I was under the impression that its usually 'palindrome test' kind of a deal.
A bit of constructive criticism here.<p>First, the most obvious thing that called out to me - have you noticed that your logo is eerily similar to Linkedin's? It uses a similar shade of blue and at a first glance just seems to be the i and n reversed. I'm pointing this out because you're in <i>vaguely</i> the same domain as they are (hiring/recruiting). I don't know if it's actually an issue.<p>Second, please add a video. Maybe a quick 60 second one that runs through the features with a bit of narration as you demonstrate them.<p>Third, I find your "Why CodeBlimp?" section is a little too light on details. Why do I want full-shell access? What aside from that and "real-time collaboration" (that other tools have) distinguishes you from competing products? I don't feel sold enough on this, though maybe I'm not your target demographic.<p>Another meta-question - what is your market strategy for Slack's inevitable product offering similar features at (likely) a lower price, thanks to the recent ScreenHero acquisition? Is it going to be the full-shell access, etc.?<p>Thanks for showing us, and good luck.
I don't have much to add to the discussion other than me finding this truly impressive. I hope you can get a sliver of the lucrative interviewing market, your execution is delightful.
Seems like a bad idea to allow CTRL+d, you seem to have escaped 'exit' but CTRL+d actually allowed me to disconnect and not be able to reconnect.
Good idea, looks useful.
I am assuming it run Debian based OS. Does it also support any other choice of OS or Linux flavor your can work with, maybe I want to interview a candidate for server management skillsets? Like CentOS/RedHat
Does this provide additional features that a collaborative IDE like Cloud9 (<a href="https://c9.io/" rel="nofollow">https://c9.io/</a>) doesn't?
Great looking landing page, the clarity on the images is particularly good and and it loaded super-fast here in the UK.<p>The service looks really good too. Good luck gaining traction :-)
