Looks cool, but I haven't been able to make a new workspace so far, everything's just waiting. I assume you've had quite a traffic bump.

Yes, really sorry about this...

Not a problem, I'll try again later or in a few days (repeatedly trying to load things probably isn't going to help matters).

My wife is learning to code, and this might be a good step on from codeacademy where she can actually make a website and get it hosted with minimal fuss.

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

Please use a free editor instead. I recommend Emacs. Vim is fine, too.

Heh, still got the chrome plugin, which replaces 'the cloud' with 'my butt'. It makes tech-news a charm to read.

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.

A friend invited me to his workspace and all I got was an email containing the following: > Code with me on https://friendco.de

This is awesome ! This is exactly what I was looking for. And i'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.

UPDATE: I'm not able to signup with bitbucket. ?

So this is Heroku in its original form?

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's for one

This is not the place for debating the value of cloud IDEs - they're out there, whether this one, cloud9, koding, or codeanywhere. This is the place to provide feedback on this particular product within that category. Let's not reinforce the stereotype of HN commenters if possible.
