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.

Same, and I tried again with the same result a few times. Looks promising though - looking forward to giving it a try!

[edit] tried on FF 3.6.13 and Chrome 10, snow leopard

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.

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

We're seeing this as well. The problems are being investigated.

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…

Thanks for the reports Melvin. We're fixing the project loading. I haven't been able to reproduce the stuck Enter button yet. The buttons on the right are used for debugging. I'll make sure we'll add some tooltips on them.

39 Euro/month?! As an individual developer I get Rubymine for $69 and can use it as much as I want. What's up with the per day pricing? Who wants to pay his IDE + workspace on a n per day basis? This is about the strangest pricing I've ever seen.

Well, the idea is this: Normally you have all your stuff on your own computer. You'll install all the software you need, like your database and runtimes and any SDK. With Cloud9 all that stuff lives in the Cloud. It's hosted and it's accessible for you from anywhere. So, like any cloud service, the hosting costs money. We are offering this for free when you work on open source projects. But when you are doing a comme…

Best of luck javruben - you'll have a lot of haters who won't understand the value prop, so you have a lot of difficult marketing ahead of you.

I thought about going into this market awhile ago, but there's a huge battle to be fought against ~20 year old editors that have been around the block and have become an external growth to some developers.

That said, you guys are headed in the right direction, good job charging and getting honest feedback on the utility so early. I just hope you're able to differentiate between 'features' and 'benefits' while going forward.

We are looking into Mono Support, but we don't have a date set for this on the roadmap.

we don't have a date set for this on the roadmap Read: never going to happen

It will happen, but there are many languages out there, each with its own runtimes, debuggers, etc. We are first focusing on making the IDE solid and stable, and then we will focus on what people want. In fact, thanks to the work done by the Mono guys C#/F# shouldn't be difficult to get working, but for now there are more important hings to do.
