As a native Russian speaker, I can't help but notice that the name sounds really close to the Russian offensive word for homosexual people - 'gomik's. Can't say if it's going to negatively affect the product but it's certainly not a good thing. Mitsubishi Pajero is not being sold in the Americas under that name for a reason.
> offensive word for homosexual people - 'gomik's Could be worse, imagine a product named Gopnik /s

What's wrong with being centralized? It's just a prototyping platform. I doubt anyone would build a production app on this. I recently used it to play with websockets and being centralized was the main reason it worked so well.
Exactly this. It's like saying shadertoy is bad because it's centralized. When in reality it doesn't matter because everyone is going to lift their code out to their production env when they're done experimenting.
I love Gomix. I spent the past weekend helping a friend migrate a static front-end only CSS skin they had made over to a live server on Gomix. That friend has moved onto running webpack and babel locally to do more advanced stuff, but Gomix was a godsend in helping demonstrate to him that the problemspace isn't as horrifyingly large as he expected. We communicated and "code reviewed" via writing comments to each othe…
This sounds forced/scripted beyond belief. It really reads like an Amazon review written in exchange of a product: > I love my FooBar 2001. I spent the past weekend migrating my dishwasher's contents into my new FooBar 2001 and it was a very pleasant experience. I was intimidated by how much work it would be at first but to my surprise it was A BREEZE. I'm so happy now with my new Foobar 2001 that I will probably use…

FTA: “At a broad level, it might be useful to really, really reckon with the history of western corporate powers enforcing their desires on a broad swath of the Indian population, especially India’s poorest,” he suggested. “There are things that India, Indians (and those of us in the diaspora) place a very high value on, for historical reasons, that shou…
Thanks for the link. I can see how you reached your conclusion but I didn't end up there after reading the bit you quoted. I think there's a more charitable take on what he said.
Anil Dash seems like a deeply creepy guy. He inserts race into everything: https://twitter.com/marcoarment/status/336853407698657280 He gets people fired for making jokes: http://archive.is/ddDFz I'm sure Gomix will have some level of success, though I have no idea what it is from his post - which just seems to be about how his is now CEO and all the glory is his. I wonder how his team feel about that? Perhaps some o…
Read the thread, Marco was 'being indignant' on the day he struck it rich, Anil pointed it out and highlighted Marco's incredible privilege. Deeply creepy? I think you need to look at yourself before throwing accusations like that around.
1/4 of the article about what is Fog Creek and how well everyone knows it. 1/4 of the article about culture and other guys and... I don't know what the hell it's talking about. I'm not even bothering reading half the sentence anymore. 1/4 Then it's talking about other unrelated products now? Outlook something. > "Gomix brings back the fun of the “view source” web" Oh finally. I had to re-read the article 3 times to f…
I really like the spirit of this, and I hate to be the gnu in the room, but the only thing holding this back is that it's centralised. Again, I totally get how that might sound stupid. "How can we have nice things if we always need to solve the decentralisation problem first?", is one of a billion reasonable responses to my comment, but I'm just a guy who has gotten his heart broken before by the likes of Geocities,…
First, the code you're running is just totally standard Node.js, and we've got easy tools for taking what you make and running it anywhere else, if you want.
Second, we'll be building more reasons that you'd want to stay in the Gomix community — features that give you benefit from being in a network. In some ways it's similar to Stack Overflow, in that everybody owns what they contribute, but having a place to do so benefits everyone.
Now when a tech celebrity posts about it, the post blows up but is filled with discussion of the personality...

Thanks for bringing it up, and I'm sorry we didn't catch it earlier.
