Has anyone signed up for the preview? I keep getting "We're sorry, but something went wrong." right after logging in.

I'm stuck in and endless loop of "We need you to provide some additional information in order to continue." and "Email already exists. Log In".

We've pushed a fix for this. Please give it another try.

Hey! Sorry about that, we are working on fixing the problem for folks who had an existing OpenShift account. Tracked it here: https://github.com/openshiftio/openshift.io/issues/134

the dumbest authentication process I've ever seen. I can't remember my password. Click forgot password. Click on email. Enter screen to change my password. Submit and it tells me it needs more information. Type more information. Complains the email already exists. Obviously, I'm resetting it. PRetty stupid.

being tracked here https://github.com/openshiftio/openshift.io/issues/134

We've pushed a fix for the duplicate email issue. Please give it another try.

Well, that's still not the same. Pictures, videos, etc are supposed to give you an impression what the product is, how it tries to solve that problem, etc. Before you invest anything in it. Even the time investment of singing up, and playing around in the "member's area" can be a hassle if you could tell that this project is not for you from a simple screenshot.

Furthermore, I would probably have to read the manual, etc before I can do anything useful with it. A good screenshot or even video can really help you with that impression

disclaimer: I work on openshift.io, and there will be much more coming out as summit goes on so I can't refer to more than in current news: From https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/red-hat-unvei...

Sure. I wasn't trying to minimize it by saying "online IDE". I was trying to say that the home page is pretty ambiguous. I needed help from HN'ers to tell what it even was. "OpenShift" already means something else to me. That list of features you just posted would be good to put on the home page.

I've read through most of it, and I think you're safe calling it a web-based IDE. Obviously "IDE" means more than it would have 15 years ago, but that's still what it is.

Then wait a few days and provide a video-backed live walkthrough.

And the "Learn more" link for every single tile and bullet point on the home page. How can someone in their right mind think "Lets scatter the information on the home page into 20 links so the user can click on them one by one and handle the navigation themselves"

So if a company chooses openshift.io, then I'm not going to be able to use IntelliJ, NetBeans, emacs, vim, visual studio code, etc. That'll help attract talent.

Proof for your statement? This sounds like juicy, paranoia-mongering FUD.

Sorry, I didn't mean it to come off as a statement. It says that there's an online IDE, so it was a question; I unfortunately used a '.' to end the first sentence because I had an 'etc.' at the end.

It's seriously a question; and if the answer is yes, then the following statement applies (the one about attracting talent).

But yes, it came off pretty cynical and sarcastic, but if someone is going to try to force me to use a particular IDE, it would piss me off (and the thought of it did too).
