It looks like a crappy clone of DevStructure Blueprints. http://devstructure.com/

Why do you think it's crappy?

We might use blueprint in the future and contribute to the project. I think Matt and Richard are great guys.

That said, we offer more than blueprint, so it's not a clone.

Any support for the new Win 8 developer preview? I'd love to have a development environment to start playing with new Metro App development..

Olivier here, a stackrocket co-founder. We only support Mac os x at the moment as a client, and Linux as the dev environment. That said, we will be looking to expand at some point. At this stage, we want to make sure we nail down the correct way of solving this problem.

Your homepage should definitely mention that Mac is the only supported client. Take a look at the OS statistics from the hits on your site - my guess is that most are not Mac.

How does this compare with OpenStack?

Openstack and cloudfoundry are attempts to standardize server infrastructures. They aim to make it easy to have your own private AWS.

A possible future for us would be to have easy deployment in your private "cloud", similar to vmware's cloudfoundry product.

That said, where we differ from cloudfoundry is that we aim to provide a great user experience and give everything to get started coding right away.

This looks awesome. As a Python/Flask enthusiast, I have to ask. Know anything like this targeted at Python?

We are python devs and we do have a django stack =)

If you want an account, please sign up and send me an email with your HN username. I could also make you a flask stack.

My email is in another thread or in my profile.
