Thank you <i>so much</i> for making this. I'm learning to program, and an intern at a place where I can't use my computer, can't install anything on their windows machines, and have a lot of free time. You just made my life a LOT better.
Good work. As author of Ace (the source code editor) I'm always happy to see it being used. Do you guys have Cappuccino bindings for Ace you might consider sharing?
In a similar vein, people should check out Ares SDK from Palm for WebOS. It is an entirely browser based IDE for creating apps for WebOS, which are also written using their Javascript/HTML/CSS based APIs.<p>edit: <a href="https://ares.palm.com/Ares/about.html" rel="nofollow">https://ares.palm.com/Ares/about.html</a>
That's really impressive. I've been working on a web only code editor for a few weeks (on and off), so I can appreciate the work gone into this.<p>They built it using Objective-J (according to the source code).
It took a while before I could find anything about the possibility to run on own/3-party servers.<p>So far this is the most specific I've found:<p><pre><code> The engine will be open sourced soon to eliminate the
vendor lock-in: you’ll be able to launch Akshell
apps on your own server.
</code></pre>
Anyone else knows the details?<p>Edit: Found some more details: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1261786" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1261786</a>
This is really cool. Your docs are well put together, and simple. It looks like you put a decent amount of time into them, which I really appreciate. Too many apps write the docs as an after-thought just before launch.
Is it just me or is the Name field actually a single word "username"?<p>I tried my name with space, it did not work but a single username worked just fine! If latter, you might want to change the Name: field to Username:.
yogsototh thank you for submitting this. We are seeing 150 or so concurrent users on the site due to this at the moment. I'm retweeting some of the other online reactions we're getting at <a href="https://twitter.com/akshell_com" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/akshell_com</a>
Impressive. May I ask what libraries do you use for the menubar and all UI widgets?<p>Also, is the web a "pretty proxy" that redirect <i>everything</i> to a node.js server which does the actual work?
Cool, but as a developer I'm having trouble seeing the market fit.<p>Like many devs, I have my preferred IDE and I'm religious about it. And I'm fine with running my own server if it means I don't have to commit to a new proprietary framework; that's kind of a huge deal.<p>I can see the benefit to budding web developers looking to get started, but those are probably also least likely to be paying for dev tools. This seems to be your approach in the docs, though.<p>Thoughts?
Very cool, now if someone could just make a Javascript IDE that works on the desktop, I'm just beginning to work in node.js and do most of my PHP in NetBeans, I really want an IDE that recognises that a project can be JS!
Great work, congratulations!<p>- Can you make the save-preview-reload cycle (much) faster? I found out that command-S triggered a Save, that's great. Does "Preview" have a keyboard shortcut as well? Could you have tooltips (when 'mouseovering' the toolbar icons) show the keyboard shortcut?<p>In TextWrangler (and BBEdit in the past), I have F1 as the "Run" item of the shebang menu. It even works with unsaved files; developing/testing in Python gets addictive: type, F1, type, F1, etc. (yes, yes, I think before I type... ;-) it's still nice to be able to quickly run your code..!)<p>- Will it be possible to console.log() strings and/or objects?
Took an hour and a bit yesterday to improve my eBay listings, like so: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/67dou5n" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/67dou5n</a> (link to the app, not eBay).
* A little bit faster. It's just fine for typing, but the menus and toolbar are a little bit slow.<p>* Why only GIT? Support Mercurial with bitbucket if possible.<p>* Add a context menu when user right clicks the mouse. It's important to have a copy/paste feature for files for example.<p>... and I'll move my JavaScript coding to it.
awesome work, but FWIW, the first thing I get in the git console for help is two lines of "undefined", and an internal server error for "lol" in the eval screen, using chrome on ubuntu. But you are probably being overloaded ATM so I'll just wait and try again later :)
Pretty cool, we made a top tweet: <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/hakimel/status/49800596823351297" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/#!/hakimel/status/49800596823351297</a>
Wow, this looks really great.<p>One small suggestion: can you s/git// on the git shell? because I'm really used to type "git <cmd>" in a shell and it's hard to change the habit.
Fantastic job. You made great progress on the IDE.<p>To get people's trust to invest work into your platform, it is essential to provide a solution running on a server of their choice.
I have Firefox "3.6.16pre," through Ubuntu.<p>When I try to access the app, it tells me that my browser isn't supported and sends me to mozilla.com to download... Firefox 3.6.15<p>Version check bug?
