Show HN: Goodbye Old Editor – Reinventing coding with the cloud

After taking a look I want to ask about a few features I would expect to say goodbye to my "old" editor (I actually just migrated from VIM to Emacs). Are they there, or are they going to be included?<p><pre><code> - auto completion, file names, var names, classes and functions, words in general etc. (like in: vim - omnicomplete, emacs: auto-complete) - fill column marker (v: colorcolumn, e: many, fill-column-indicator) - code outline (v: TagBar, e: Speedbar) - refactoring support, rename var/fun/class (many options) - go to definition (for Python v: python-mode, e: elpy; or generically with ctags, etags) - comment region (v: NERDCommenter, e: comment-region) - declare and insert snippets (v: vim-snipmate, e: yasnippet and others) - rectangular selection and operations (v: Ctrl-v, e: C-x r ... or rect-mark) - find file in project (fuzzy matching optional) (v: Command-T, e: find-file-in-project, ifind, others) - find in files (v: :(vim)grep or other, e: lgrep or multiple others) - change/set surrounding "'([{ chars (v: surround, e: wrap-region or (somewhat) paredit) </code></pre> And probably many others I don't remember now.<p>I don't want to sound like I'm saying the product is a bad idea or that what we have now is sufficient and we don't need new things. I'm honestly very used to these features and they make me more productive; if I was a hobbyist, I could switch to less featureful editor right now, but for a professional your productivity determines your income for the large part. So, while I like the idea of in-browser editors, I cannot use them unless they have the features I need. If they are in different places then ok, but not if they are lacking.

This looks pretty cool and I'm going to check it out, but I'm not signing up with GitHub since you ask for access to my private repos by default. Given that I use GitHub for my day job, I'm not really comfortable giving a service I've never heard of access to our code base. It would be great if this was opt-in. (e.g. ask for my public repos now and then ask me later about private ones)

Anyone know of a self-hosted variant of this? I'd kill for the ability to toss some file on a webserver &#38; use it to edit files locally..

Nice work! Have you played with Koding.com at all? This is very similar and seems to be a space that is heating up. I will definitely give this a shot.<p>One quick piece of feedback: some of the grammar felt strange. I'm assuming you aren't native english speakers? No problem, I'm sure someone can help you polish that later.

Few things needed for me before I even consider the change:<p>PS: I am a PHP developer using Netbeans<p>- Autocomplete (for function names, vars and methods)<p>- Control + Click on a var/function/method opens the file where that is located and bring you there<p>- Also would be easier if it had Dropbox/Google Drive support, I am cheap so I don't pay github, I find it too expensive.

It would be nice if I didn't have to set up _another_ repo. Integrating with GitHub or BitBucket would be preferred (be backed by, not just import). That said, I wouldn't actually use it since GitHub lets you edit individual files through the UI. Just an observation. The rest looks nice though.

While running the sample nodejs code, it opened a virtual terminal with the message "Building application in a new virtual machine" - Are you actually creating a new virtual machine for every app that is run? Isn't that resource-consuming?

Just curious, are you guys building the FriendCode app by using FriendCode?

This looks great. When will you shut up and start taking my money? I'm worried of getting too attached, that this beautiful piece of work looks like it has no business model.

I just wanted to let you guys know that there are a few issues with the execution system due to the load we got from HN.<p>We're on it right now.

Error 500 on redirect back from Github login.

This looks interesting. Is there--or will there be--any kind of integration with GitHub, SourceForge, et al?

I'd like to see the pricing structure before I give you any data (including my Google/FB/GH credentials).

Have you seen <a href="https://koding.com/" rel="nofollow">https://koding.com/</a> ?

I love the concept. You may want to fix the language autocomplete during sign up.

What is different about this from Cloud9 (genuinely interested in the answer)?
