#52Great idea and awesome landing page -- sat through the introductory video and was really impressed with the simplicity and ease of the idea. Also - would you like to say anything about PHP/scripting support? I saw some PHP files in the folder that was copied during the demo vid, was wondering about support for that
That confused me too, especially since right under the video, the third header says "Just HTML and CSS".

I think the market for these types of services is not multi-person dev teams. Instead, this is for your solo freelancer who doesn't want to deal with the hassle of hosting and where git is overkill.
Shameless plug: Solving high-quality web site production (for a multi-person dev team, including non-developer personas such as designers, content writers, reviewers, translators, etc.) is actually part of a new project I'm working on ( http://grow.io ). If you (or any other reader) has an immediate need for this type of product/app, I'd love to talk to you to learn more about your requirements (and share more about…
My problem might only be my current company, but large scale systems development tools are a mess. There isn't a better method than Office to track large sets of requirements, timing, and assets for a good view of project status.
I guess what I'm saying is I wish someone tackled the organizational issue for product management of large systems in my domain (encompasses software, hardware, mechanical) other than IBM.

#55Anyone has any experience reaching quota limits on Dropbox, GH-Pages etc? Would you feel comfortable hosting a very high traffic site (or even a smaller site that gets Reddited occasionally) there?

Looks like they don't host it on dropbox. They use dropbox like an FTP replacement.

#57So, it saves you the extra click to upload via SFTP? I really am not sure I get the point. Are they targeting people who are confused and befuddled by normal file synchronization?
That's not very convenient, even for power users. My blog runs on a custom CMS I wrote, yet it was enough of a pain that I eventually added Dropbox integration. This setup has the added advantage that all the state is always in Dropbox, backed up, and I can set up as many read-only mirrors that autosync as I want: http://www.stavros.io/posts/this-blog-is-dropbox-enabled/ http://mirror.stavros.io/posts/this-blog-is-dr…
just mount an ssh folder on your local machine...

This is a dynamic CMS, the content is markdown files, and it's hosted on GAE. Plus, I don't like the latency SSH has when saving.
