This concept reminds me of http://tmate.io which I have used many times to help people out. This would be a very helpful product for remote teaching and paired programming.

#13Alive support C#. But we plan to include more! If you've got a language suggestion please "support"? Did you mean "supports"? And maybe get someone to copy-edit your homepage.
Jeez, that's embarrassing. I'm fixing that now, thanks for the heads up!

#14Are there some more in-depth demo videos? I'd love to see how/whether it is able to interact with databases, for example. Can I see records directly in my code? Looks like a neat tool.
Static methods and input data from unit tests only:
Why do you mention tests so often?
Because of side effects. Frequently, in imperative programming, methods
access fields and properties local to the method's class. Tests initialize or
mock all necessary resources, classes, connections and properties that
the target method will use.Re: Alive Beta – Live Coding in Visual Studio

Unfortunately we've only got the one video for now. However if you sign up for the newsletter (https://comealive.io/#newsletter) we'll keep you updated as we make videos of Alive interacting with different codebases.

One video? I found two!

Yeah I suppose we should probably take the second one down as it's no longer a good representation of the product. (We've overhauled the UI).
I think we'll leave it up until we've come up with a good replacement.

#18I wonder why they went with a "paid beta" vs. a traditional free beta.
This is by far the most common question we get asked, and this weekend I'm going to write a full length blog post about that decision. What might shock you even more is that we originally charged to pre-order the alpha version . The short version: - We needed to quickly figure out if we were building a product that people loved and thought was worth paying for. - We're trying to build a product a small number of peop…
These are fair points and I can definitely see where you are coming from.
If a free beta is out of the question, maybe a time and/or (severly) feature limited trial version could be possible. You are addressing this on you page however there seems to be no obvious reason why this is not possible at this time.
I'm intrigued by the idea and concept of this tool in it's current state and I am definitively looking forward to other languages being supported, however at this time my budget does not allow spending 100$ just because of a very pretty product page.
Please don't take this as an attack against what your are building! Judging from personal experience it's really hard to estimate the value of a new tool without the chance to test how well it integrates in your existing workflow and setup or many experience reports of other developers.
In the meantime I wish you all the luck and success for this very interesting product.
Edit: Did you write about your former experiences with giving out free versions of your software?

#20Damn this is cool! Does it work with external libraries and project functions?
This would be amazing, the amount of times I do this sort of testing in unit test projects considerably hinders my development time. And for $89/yr that's easily worth it!
excitement intensifies
How do I buy it? I'd like to do a video review, but when I click on "Buy" it links to "https://comealive.io/#"

D'oh! Looks like AdBlock breaks everything. Disable it on the page if you want to buy!
