Hi, I'm the creator and team lead of Gomix (formerly HyperDev). We're relaunching with a new brand and a ton of new features: persistent filesystems, faster start up times, better reliability and performance, and the beginnings of multiple language support.<p>I'm happy to answer any questions about design, tech, development, deploying Docker on AWS, etc.
I really love this. Not just the technology but the attitude; it's a demonstration that our workflow can be much simpler, but without cynicism or academic snootiness. Thanks for showing us that the web can be a dev-friendly platform again!
Aside from the tech required to enable a web UI for creating and collaboratively editing full applications and providing the infrastructure to quickly spin up and deploy these apps... a big part of the appeal to me is the design and personality of the site.<p>The playfulness makes me curious and interested to go build something "just because", rather than start coming up with all the reasons why I would or wouldn't want to use this over my normal workflow. Plus, the starter app prompts "Tell me your hopes and dreams" - something my wife would say, so <heartstrings>.
Just found you guys from the new Joel on Software post [1]:<p>Congrats on the launch!<p>Would love to see an infrastructure deep dive post sometime : )<p>1: <a href="https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2016/12/06/anil-dash-is-the-new-ceo-of-fog-creek-software/" rel="nofollow">https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2016/12/06/anil-dash-is-the-n...</a>
You've probably heard this a couple of times, but - I don't have a GitHub account, don't want a github account, yet for me to use this I have to create a github account.<p>Any reason for this?
Love it as a lightweight way to test out new frameworks and boilerplates. This would be particularly useful for kitchen sink demo apps. The potential as a teaching platform is enormous-- imagine getting to learn React for the first time without spending time on the tooling and boilerplate first.
This looks like a neat service. Browsing through it it was hard to get a sense, what exactly is the use case other than a digital playground. Is this meant to be used for something production-level or just fun a tool to play/explore/experiment with?
I'm helping a lot of people remotely, doing code review and helping get better at programming (mostly helping more junior people).
The github import + shared editor feature looks like it would be SUPER useful for me to quickly import their github project and start making comment, changing some code with them etc..<p>Will definitely look into that!
This is really cool. Not sure how much I would use the IDE, but it seems like a really nicely indexed collections of solved problems with example code.
