#12Reminds me of http://forio.com/julia/repl/ except the addition of iJulia notebook makes it much more useful.

I can also upload files and run them though the console. Or just write the code with vim in the console, in your browser.

#15This isn't ready for public consumption, it was posted to HN by someone unrelated to JuliaBox.

#16What is it? Why would I sign in into something I know nothing about?
Re: Juliabox
#17Why must this require google login at all? It should not be mandatory. . .
This is not meant for public consumption yet, so alternatives will be provided later. Before then, using Google to authenticate is much simpler than making a robust password system, and the tool also can store files on Google Drive - requiring auth anyway.

Its actually functional, but wasn't meant to be released yet and can't scale to this kind of demand. When it is released, I'm sure you'll see it here!

#19What is Juliabox? The landing page itself does not say anything about what the product actually is and what the benefits of signing up are.
It is essentially Julia running in the browser, primarily as an IJulia notebook. Its a way to try Julia, and is good for teaching as students don't need to install anything to get started with technical computing.

#20I clicked on the sign-in via google but then nothing else happened after authorizing identifying me.. No email, nothing. Maybe they are understandably experiencing some high loads or something. It'd be nice to quickly update web page to state that though if true. UPDATE: Never mind, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8281116
Yes this wasn't meant to publicly available yet - was up for our own testing and internal use. The maintainer is working on scaling it a bit, but its not really ready to take on the full load of the internet.
