Pretty cool stuff. I got stuck a bit in the registration though. I always use a password manager and paste in my passwords. It's telling me it doesn't like my 16 character password because it needs to be 5 or more, and when I paste it, it's in cleartext.

Ah! Yeah, copy and paste issue. Don't have a handler for that for the console. Will fix it as soon as I can. Thank you for catching that!

Totally broken for me (after writing "Register"): http://imgur.com/a/cYtZz Browser: Firefox 47 (default browser) Extensions: AdBlockPlus, LastPass OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Yeah, some other users are reporting issues with Firefox. Putting out some other fires at the moment. Hang tight! Thanks so much for your patience and for trying it out (and reporting the errors)!

The premise of this is a great idea. The sign up is pretty neat - def. suited to expected audience/users. However, no pricing info? I'll come back once pricing is displayed.

I didn't found the pricing info either until I played around in the terminal, which gives us this:

Edit: Well...formatting sucks since I just copy-pasted. But it's somewhat readable I hope

Keith is awesome. I've met him a few times to chat about Polybit and he is seriously dedicated to making a great developer product and solving the pain of standing up a backend API.

Thanks :). The truth to anybody reading is that James is the awesome one. Since I first met him early this year to talk about his experience at Parse, he's been one of the most supportive people I've met in Silicon Valley to date. If I can give a piece of advice to other early founders: it's tough, it never seems to magically get easy, but there are truly awesome people out there willing to help. Still a long road ah…

Just kiss already.

Bug report:

REPL on https://polybit.com/ fails to display fonts. See [1] for a screenshot.

The console logs the keydown events per pconsole.js line number 308. I see the keys I pressed but nothing shows up.

keydown { target: , key: "h", charCode: 0, keyCode: 72 } pconsole.js:308:5

keydown { target: , key: "e", charCode: 0, keyCode: 69 } pconsole.js:308:5

keydown { target: , key: "l", charCode: 0, keyCode: 76 } pconsole.js:308:5

keydown { target: , key: "l", charCode: 0, keyCode: 76 } pconsole.js:308:5

keydown { target: , key: "o", charCode: 0, keyCode: 79 } pconsole.js:308:5

keydown { target: , key: " ", charCode: 0, keyCode: 32 } pconsole.js:308:5

keydown { target: , key: "w", charCode: 0, keyCode: 87 } pconsole.js:308:5

keydown { target: , key: "o", charCode: 0, keyCode: 79 } pconsole.js:308:5

keydown { target: , key: "r", charCode: 0, keyCode: 82 } pconsole.js:308:5
