I'm a big fan of Fog Creek (having worked there for 7 years). But I'm a little stumped on who this is for. Without any persistence (Mongo, SQL, Redis, something) this is nothing more than a toy. Right now, the forums suggest setting one up via some PAAS, which obviates the whole "it's only one step" thing. Presumably persistence is on its way, as this is just a beta. Persistence aside, it's still lightweight for an e…

I often go on jsfiddle to quickly do some stuff that may or may not be shown to other people. Hyperdev does that with a little twist that allow me to do even more quicker. It's not meant to make your next product, it's meant to quickly prototype something, probably for fun, possibly to do something bigger later, but certainly not to develop on some kind of commercial project.

We're on the front page of some major sites so things are blowing up a little bit, but we should have it sorted out soon! Thanks for your patience! - A frantic HyperDev developer

Getting 503 error on hyperdev.com. > {"status":"Error","statusCode":503,"statusDetail":"Waiting To Serve for cosmic-panther: No service found running on port"} Nice sense of humour at least ;)

cosmic-panther is your random word set for your instance.

Even without persistence it has its uses. I have a couple of proxy services on heroku that would fit, for example.

What's wrong with toys? I think that's what this is supposed to be.

I see the big potential in having an always-on development environment in the cloud. It would enable better collaboration. It also enables features not possible with in the old way, like easier deployment, ready-made persistence, moving back in time, … . But for me the problem with them is that the text editor is not Emacs. I guess a lot of developers who are somewhat experienced have similar attachment to their edit…

The power of a REPL should not be underestimated. This is like that for web development I guess.

Nobody mentioned AppJet yet? AppJet was exactly the same product, 10 years ago! It was awesome and I hope this product sticks around longer than AppJet did (pivoted into EtherPad and then acquihired by Google). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppJet

+1 Had the same thought when I saw it. AppJet was awesome.
