What value does this add to a local IDE? With my local IDE I can still program when the internet (or any one hop between my pc and your servers) goes down.<p>A friend invited me to his workspace and all I got was an email containing the following: &gt; Code with me on <a href="https://friendco.de" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;friendco.de</a>

Heh, still got the chrome plugin, which replaces &#x27;the cloud&#x27; with &#x27;my butt&#x27;.<p>It makes tech-news a charm to read.

On your pricing page: for Enterprise plans, instead of saying &quot;$ TBD&#x2F;mo&quot;, you should just say &quot;Contact Us&quot; in both spots.

This looks incredibly slick, but I&#x27;m still seeing &quot;FriendCode is setting up your Environment. It may take a few seconds&quot; after about ten minutes of waiting. I clicked in from the large graphic on the home page (using FF 24.0).

I was interested in trying it out for doing pair programming. Didn&#x27;t get so far before I gave up though.<p>* Login with Github, trying to import project, didn&#x27;t work.<p>* Setup demo application, trying to find how to try it out.<p>* After looking around ~5 minutes, found the &quot;open web server url&quot; link<p>* &quot;An error has occurred: {&quot;code&quot;:&quot;ECONNREFUSED&quot;,&quot;errno&quot;:&quot;ECONNREFUSED&quot;,&quot;syscall&quot;:&quot;connect&quot;}&quot; as response when using the url<p>* Trying to open up terminal to debug, terminal loading never ends<p>* Open up logs console thing, blank file.<p>* Closed tab and gave up

This is awesome ! This is exactly what I was looking for. And i&#x27;m sure every small startup teams would love to switch to it. I just have a suggestion for you guys, Create something like a section for small students projects too. Small teams from colleges can learn to work together with this very fast.<p>UPDATE: I&#x27;m not able to signup with bitbucket. ?

I created a project using the Ruby sample app, but that&#x27;s about as far as I got (same Setting up Environment problem that others are reporting).<p>I thought I&#x27;d try deleting the project I created, but it doesn&#x27;t seem to do anything. It&#x27;s also very weird to have a checkbox to delete the project, and then clicking &quot;Save&quot;.

Before I say goodbye to my editor, here are a few features that are critical, but sadly are missing:<p>- Debug break points. Yes, I can&#x27;t live without a debugger. - Follow a signature to its implementation&#x2F;declaration, usually by clicking on it. - Auto completion. I refuse to work without this. - Refactor tools, I&#x27;ve loved these tools since the 90&#x27;s. - Code generation like getters&#x2F;setters. ...

Sounds great, but I get an error (simply seeing &quot;Error :(&quot; displayed briefly) when clicking the &quot;Try Now&quot; button... then it redirects to the login page... is that as designed? I need to sign up to try it?

Also creating my environment would take a few seconds. It&#x27;s already running for 2 hours.<p><a href="http://imgur.com/RLkai25" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;RLkai25</a><p>Yup, this is about the time it would have taken me to set it up myself.

This looks great! I use Cloud9 right now for all my development; can you tell me if this is different or just an alternative? The collaboration looks more advanced than Cloud9&#x27;s for one

Looks like a great service, maybe add a subscribe to your homepage for people who are having issues creating a workspace. I&#x27;ll check back later. Great work though, looks very nice!

Looks cool, but I haven&#x27;t been able to make a new workspace so far, everything&#x27;s just waiting. I assume you&#x27;ve had quite a traffic bump.

It&#x27;s awesome when you can&#x27;t work without Internet! I am traveling around South America and offline docs and editors are a godsend right now.

I signed up and created a sinatra and java app. Wouldn&#x27;t usually be one to but a downer on a new product but the whole process was quite buggy.<p>Great idea though.

Looks very impressive. Can&#x27;t get a new blank Java project to compile or run yet though (java: command not found). May be doing something wrong.

So this is Heroku in its original form?

Seems very similar to Nitrous.IO.
