Not completely related but, super interesting that etherpad actually started as appjet.

via crunchbase: AppJet intends to simplify the process of writing web applications. The applications are programmed on a web based text editor in the simple but powerful JavaScript programming language. JavaScript is used on both the server and client side.

I guess they ended up realizing that the code editor was a better product/market to go after than the app creation/hosting itself.

Also, interesting that pg invested in the angel round as well, post-YC.

I have my last final today. This comes as a perfect school-is-over-and-i-can-start-hacking-again gift! I'm hoping to be able to integrate LaTeX export into this so I can collaborate on LaTeX reports without having to download and build manually.

I had the same thought.

Let me know if you want to collaborate.

Anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Looks like the cp failed. What operating system is this on?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Where? I only sampled a few directories, couldn't find anything except js.

Check the 'infrastructure' at the root.

Oh, thanks. I had assumed that whole appjet thing was some kind of framework, not the actual EtherPad server.

From cp usage message, it seems to be a Mac. But compilecache.sh seems to be handling properly for Darwin based systems.

...and it's offline. Whole repo now 404s.

[edit] Appears Aaron is re-importing the tree as I type. Paths have all changed to be under trunk/trunk...

[edit2] Back to normal paths. Not clear what has changed.

I too had a similar thought :) I'm booked until mid January, but would be interested in collaborating then.

Thanks to The Google & The Etherpads! I fully expect to see 30 different sites offering this now, and HN to be full of links to them tomorrow.

For those of us who have been working on side-project competitors for a few months this is a worrying prediction, and quite probably correct.

Can HN name any niches that they feel should be filled with a similar product?
