I'm getting Error: connect ECONNREFUSED when trying to create a new box @codebox.io

I've managed to create it out of a git repository, but when i try to start IDE, i'm getting some weird login request(dynobox.io)

Sorry guys, due to some load our datastore is having some issues coping ...

Sorry, the hosting service is still in beta, I'm actively working on improving it.

I sometimes wonder, can cloud IDE's will really be able to replace traditional code editors like Sublime Text, Vim, Emacs. I really like the idea of cloud IDE's, but practically it's difficult to bring the entire development environment on cloud/browser, and even more difficult when switching from Vim. Anyways, I really appreciate the efforts you are putting in this project. Congrats guys/gals, job well done.

I have the same reservations. There are a few notable developers who have blogged in the past abut using Nitrous [1] as their primary development environment, so I'd like to say it's possible.

I wonder though if something like Vim.js [2] couldn't start to get closer to making this a practical tool for my workflow. Between that and having offline support / native app to use, there'd certainly be a lot of benefits. Ultimately though, I think the #1 thing it'd come down to is lag; if there's lag (like ever, including trying to launch the program, when I'm offline, or while I'm typing), it can't be my primary development environment without constant annoyance.

I'm running into an error.

1) I signed up via github oauth

2) I created a new "public" box with a python stack

3) Clicked "start editing"

The app says "PREPARING YOUR WORKSPACE" and then asks me for a password (via http auth.) If you're asking for my github password, you're not going to get it... Then again, you probably aren't, so I'm clueless as to what to put there.

I was confused for a moment at the app name as I thought this referred to the excellent CodeBox application[1]; I thought maybe that app had been evolved into a full IDE. [1] http://www.shpakovski.com/codebox/

Sorry about the confusion. Codebox (our IDE) will have a full desktop application soon on Mac/Linux (the IDE can run on the desktop).

I signed up at codebox.io and when I go to "Start editing" a test box that I created, I get a HTTPAuth login box. Not sure what to enter here, but my codebox.io password doesn't work.

I thought that maybe I had missed a dialog box with a user/pass, so I went to delete my test box and create a new one. But nothing happens when I click the delete button for my one box.

How does this compare with Cloud9? https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9/

Codebox & Cloud9 share some similarities (IDE's built with web technologies). However we have a big emphasis on modularity, ease of use. We have a Desktop app (linux/mac) coming in the pipes. Our cloud version has offline support (so you can code even when the network cuts). And a handful of other things. For example our hosting platform supports stacks (swappable VM images), that allow us to provide our clients with…

It might be worth noting that some of the key components used by Codebox are actually developped by Ajax.org (the Cloud9 team) like the ACE code editor component and the vfs system.

Thank you for keeping your source open. Interesting to poke around in the internals.

Hey sorry, due to the Hacker News load a piece of our infrastructure is having some difficulties ...

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, I'm on it now.

Check codebox.io in a few hours when I'll have had time to deal with the load issues.

Signed up with codebox.io. When trying to create a "box" I get this:

Refresh and the box should be there.
