#32I don't think it's a good idea if you target developers : 1- Trading expensive bandwidth for a cheap storage isn't economically logical. 2- Any web developer should understand how web works and he should be comfortable with ftp, apache/nginx/iis, git(/mercurial), etc...
"It will not be particularly useful to a developer..." Right there on the project page.
Full sentence : "It will not be particularly useful to a developer who is comfortable with git, heroku, ftp, or another method of hosting a website."
But the thing is, drapache is for the programmers [1], if you read full readme you will notice, to use drapache you need to understand basics of programming ( maybe js for static pages and python for dynamic pages).
Now, i understand "It's c00l" but the coolness != useful
[1]Readme/.dbpy : Although far from finished, the dbpy framework is enough for beginning programmers to get started building dynamic websites.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
Until I saw this comment, I'd been pronouncing it "drop-ache" in my head, and scratching my head wondering whether it was a reference to dropbears or not. Now I see the light. Maybe instead of rebranding, make a logo that sets the "apache" part in a different color or font?
I don’t follow your (or your parent post’s) line of thinking. Apparently “dépêche means dispatch (or update, message or news),” and has a connotation of “fast.” I don’t see how this really applies to Drapache, which I thought of as “dr’apache,” a portmanteau of “drop(box)” and “apache.” I’m a Depeche Mode fan, but don’t see how it relates. Where’s the pun? :)
"mod_depeche" is a pun on "mod", not "depeche". Clever, and would make a fun name for something (just not this).
