I've recently started using an asset manager for my latest app, and I believe they are becoming more common (rails 3.1.3 includes asset management).

Why would I use a package manager as a service when I can essentially do it for nothing?

Maybe I'm just not understanding your service. A few years ago, this might have been something I might be interested in (though I doubt I'd pay for it), I think you may have missed the market opportunity.

I didn't know about rails asset management (I'm more of a django guy), thanks I'll look into it.

I really like your description of it as a package manager. In those terms I'm starting to think more like an app store for your web site.

My thinking was more around a company setting where you've got change control processes in place and deployments perhaps aren't as easy to orchestrate/are too much effort.

Then there's my personal itch which is that for every product I build I seem to be doing the same things over and over again with Olark, Woopra, Google Analytics etc.

Interesting - very curious as to how it works though, maybe something you could add on the page. Since your audience is developers I'm sure others would appreciate that info also.

yup, some sort of example how it would work for me as a developer would be awesome!

E.g. I have uservoice, optimizely, ganalytics, kissinsights and totango snippets in my app right now - what UberJS would do for me? Would my biz. partner be able to add new snippets/delete old ones on his own (without interrupting my flow ;)?

Thanks! I've updated some of the copy on the site. Hopefully it's clearer now.

Love the idea of getting your biz guy to update things for you. Yes, it would definitely work for that scenario.
