Pretty cool stuff. I got stuck a bit in the registration though. I always use a password manager and paste in my passwords. It's telling me it doesn't like my 16 character password because it needs to be 5 or more, and when I paste it, it's in cleartext.

#15The premise of this is a great idea. The sign up is pretty neat - def. suited to expected audience/users. However, no pricing info? I'll come back once pricing is displayed.

#17Keith is awesome. I've met him a few times to chat about Polybit and he is seriously dedicated to making a great developer product and solving the pain of standing up a backend API.
Thanks :). The truth to anybody reading is that James is the awesome one. Since I first met him early this year to talk about his experience at Parse, he's been one of the most supportive people I've met in Silicon Valley to date. If I can give a piece of advice to other early founders: it's tough, it never seems to magically get easy, but there are truly awesome people out there willing to help. Still a long road ah…

The console logs the keydown events per pconsole.js line number 308. I see the keys I pressed but nothing shows up.
keydown { target: , key: "h", charCode: 0, keyCode: 72 } pconsole.js:308:5
keydown { target: , key: "e", charCode: 0, keyCode: 69 } pconsole.js:308:5
keydown { target: , key: "l", charCode: 0, keyCode: 76 } pconsole.js:308:5
keydown { target: , key: "l", charCode: 0, keyCode: 76 } pconsole.js:308:5

#19Very COOL! As a DBA, as fare as I'm concerned this is how databases should be used. NO! application should contain SQL. SQL should ONLY be in an API.
