being a big c9.io user nitrous.io does have that same look and feel...however I really dislike the credit system in my expereince anytime a company has tried to use some kind of credit system its usually never good for those devs who simply cant pay or simply dont want to...but overall love the look and feel "cant wait to start slinging some mad js"

I really like this idea (and maybe I'm just dumb) but I really didn't get from the homepage that this was for actual deployed applications, not just a collaborative web dev environment.

In particular, I really need to know what backend services (if any) are available. Almost everything I write uses at least Postgres and Memcached, are those available? Even just a list of addons/backends would be incredibly helpful.

no gofmt on save. Also seems to not pick up external changes in the editor, e.g. from vim.

Right, our text editor is pretty basic at the moment, but hey if you are a vim user, it works perfectly!

Does the collab mode work with vim?
