right? I was about to post some snarky comment about "php is the heroku for php" but then I went through their site and was actually impressed. It would be rad if they had a free tier which turned into a "paid" account if it hit a certain threshold.

#6I like it how the screencast didn't use a terminal; not even once. This is very different from the other Heroku for x initiatives.
That, bundled with their absolutely gorgeous design is a huge differentiator from the alternatives.

#7The PHP Fog web designer could learn a few things from the Pagoda site. I found Pagoda much more informative and has better usability than Fog. The graphics and images on Pagoda aid the user in understanding how Pagoda works and why it's better than traditional hosting, instead of hitting you over the head with over-the-top beautiful graphics that ultimately don't say or mean much as on Fog. The typography also makes the copy easier to read. The video demo is very slick.

#8I like the idea of Pagoda pulling from the github repository, but what happens if github is for any reason inaccessible and you need to make an update to your site? Is there a backup method?

#9Request invite if you're interested, I got it pretty quickly. Great design indeed.

#10Pulling only from github seems very restrictive to me. So, basically if I want to put a private project on PagodaBox, I have to also purchase a github account.
