Damn, I meant to submit that. I hope people take the time to click to the home page, I wish I could change the link retroactively. Maybe the mods will do it if this gets any traction.

This seems really cool. What's the ETA on node box?

Spent a couple of days playing with this and I really like it. I'm enjoying the nice, clean IDE UI.

Haven't really built anything beyond simple test apps, but from what I've seen it could be a really great tool.

Our homepage is a little outdated (changing soon!) but node boxes are already present! (along with Python and Go)

Edit: I'm one of the guys working on action.io btw

How is this different than Cloud9 IDE? https://c9.io/

SSH access, and a console so you can actually deploy. It's more similar to a VPS but with a little more hand-holding and some restrictions.

Very similar, although I don't think Heroku ever had a console. But yes, this does seem to be at least a partial revival of Heroku garden.

Also I don't think this is meant to be a production hosting environment, more like a test environment before you deploy to Heroku (which Action.IO will automate when the time comes).
