This looks very similar to my startup's product, Site44: www.site44.com.<p>I'm not sure I follow the connection to "mobile," though. Some of the examples (like a static blog or landing page) don't sound at all specific to mobile. Can someone explain? Is this general-purpose static hosting, like Site44, or is it something different?
A mobile accessible interface is a big deal for many.
A simple SSH / SFTP / etc connection for file management will suffice, rather than having some proprietary client model restricted to a couple of operating systems.<p>Just my $0.02
I was about to have a conniption, but then I saw this:<p>> <i>Learn to Program</i><p>> <i>We created the absolute best Platform for learning web development. Harp removes all the complexity, and gives you the environment you are already comfortable with.</i><p>This is a really awesome idea for getting beginners into mobile app development. PHP did a lot to reduce the barrier to entry for traditional web application development and I think this could have the potential to do the same for mobile.<p>Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.
Just to be clear, this only supports HTML, CSS and Javascript? So learning to program web applications doesn't include anything with a database or that requires secure access (i.e., authentication/authorization) unless (possibly) something like Parse is used as a backend and no Ruby, Python, PHP or other server-side languages.
I've wanted to tackle this idea forever, it's always seemed like low-hanging fruit. I'm super excited to see someone take it on full-time. Best of luck!
This is an interesting concept.
I'm developing a blogging platform leveraging dropbox—that it's actually powering my website—but I've taken i different approach and I'm parsing on the server the markdown files. I haven't actually thought about using it with static html files, this approach have the benefit of greater flexibility in the type of content you can provide.
