How well does it do with non-javascript code? If I could code ruby on rails on it, and deploy from w/in it to Heroku, I'd sign up today. (happy feature creep!)

We are working on it. We aim to support all the major languages and their popular frameworks soon. For now you have syntax highlighting for Ruby and more languages, which combined with GitHub integration already makes it a sweet platform to develop on.

That is really great!

How are you planning to achieve that? Via some X-to-LLVM-to-JS compiler? And what about system functions? Emulating some simple filesystem? Sockets would also be nice...

I'm getting a sky blue screen of nothingness on dashboard.html after signing in via github. Chrome 9.0.597.107 on Snow Leopard. When going back to it again, the front sign in with github link tells me that someone already has my user id.

I got the same. Just click the 'sign in' link at the top, then 'Sign in with Github' and it should take you to your account.

The site (awesomely) says that most of the code powering it is openly available on Github ( https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9 ) - out of interest, which parts have you developed separately for your service?

Pretty cool, I have it running[1] on my box now, but I can't seem to figure out what the Run feature is supposed to..I'm guessing run the code in the second pane, but it's not clear with no docs...Also, is this designed to execute only for Javascript? Your site at http://c9.io is down and I don't see anything in Google cache so I can't read up there either.

I would use this for PHP development.

I really like the idea of having an editor that I can play with on all of the things that I don't want to, or can't, setup an editor on (iPad, various laptops, etc). Is it possible to have a non-hosted version that I could put on my own servers as well, that I can then access from anywhere I wanted?

The aesthetic quality is superb by the way. Who does your UX?

I spotted issues with the signup process yesterday, the guys have done a good job of chatting to me on twitter to try and resolve the issue, so thumbs up.

On a separate note, I agree with the comments about the per day pricing. It is a little confusing and I would rather just see a monthly subscription cost, with a few plan variants based on # of projects and users. Your making me think to hard about paying for something when I have to start calculating how much it will cost me. You should definitely consider simplifying it.

I disagree with the comments around pricing though. I think that estimated cost is well worth not having hassle, and when you consider it to the cost of say your mobile phone bill. Just ask which do you use the most, more importantly which one is making you the money in the first place.

If I'm honest I think the pricing is a on the low side, However I wouldn't limit the free plan to "open-source" projects either. Depending on how you are quantifying open source. If you require a public github repo then I would potentially suggest it's a bad thing. People need chance to use your IDE for a project to see if they are willing to pay. Allowing only say one or two projects makes more sense I think.

Yah, though that just gets me back to the sky blue screen of nothingness.

It's still buggy:

* Sometimes when loading a project, it gets stuck at "Loading..."

* When editing a file, sometimes the Enter button doesn't return. It works if I hold the Enter key down but then it adds a ton of returns.

* The buttons on the right don't really do anything yet, except for the collaborators section. There isn't a label or hint box so I'm not sure what exactly they are for.

With that said, I love the idea of this and really want this to become a viable alternative to Textmate + desktop development, which will hopefully improve the pace and standard at which progress happens.

Looking forward to Ruby support.
