Cool, this is like my Fire★ project ( http://www.firestr.com ) but for back end services. They also support creating block chains. I shall need to look at it for inspiration.

Love this line from your site: "This is not cloud software, but grass software. You can touch it and shape it. The possibilities are endless."

Thanks! I think I will turn it into a catch phrase.

How is this different from Ethereum?

Thelonious is an ethereum derivative designed to be programmable so dapp makers can add in the consensus constraints they want. Maybe they don't want just anyone to mine but instead just trusted operators. Its a smart contract controlled chain so you can do this. We call these "locked down" chains they embrace the idea that some dapp makers might need to have more assurances about control over the database. Theloniou…

Could you make the site a bit more accessible to people outside the blockchain community by giving examples of the kind of applications that could be built with these tools?

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed we will be trying to do so over the coming weeks -- especially in the tutorial and blogs sections.
