I've been thinking about building something like this, but haven't had the time. I'm glad to see someone did it!

#62No love for IE9?!
It works, but there are slight rendering errors with popups. We wanted to make sure it was perfect before officially supporting it. If you're really keen to see it in IE, you can fake the user agent headers to pretend to be Firefox or Chrome.

#63Wow, this looks really great. One small suggestion: can you s/git// on the git shell? because I'm really used to type "git " in a shell and it's hard to change the habit.
Thank you! We'll do something about it. May be we'll have a more universal console, where git will be only one of the commands.

Why not use the buit-in keyboard-UI in the iPad?
Don't work on iOS. In my web app, I display a plain textarea for iPhone and iPad, but it's not an IDE. Why doesn't @contenteditable work on the iPhone? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/723592/why-doesnt-content... Is contentEditable not supported by iPad? http://www.quora.com/Is-contentEditable-not-supported-by-iPa...
AFAIK it supports contentEditable, but just doesn't show the keyboard for those elements. So theoretically formatting commands and such work.

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
Alright, but shouldn't the solution be to allow the user to use either Google's keyboard or the built-in(by using textarea)? The built-in one has a dictionary and some autocompletion, which could be good or annoying... :)
Most likely annoying if you're writing code.
Yes, a custom keyboard for this kind of app should include the necessary buttons for JavaScript. Curly braces, etc.

#66Good work. As author of Ace (the source code editor) I'm always happy to see it being used. Do you guys have Cappuccino bindings for Ace you might consider sharing?
We will share it on our blog and mailing list. It's quite simple, only 200 lines of code.

#67Looks great! Do you think you'll be including support for CoffeeScript?
Yes, we think about it. CoffeeScript support should be easy to implement and seamless to use.

#68Well. This is a good way to make my JS looking insignificant by comparison.
Looks like it's built on Cappuccino: http://cappuccino.org/ It's only recently become viable to use because of the performance improvements all the browsers have been making to their javascript engines. Last time I tried 280 slides it was painfully laggy ( http://280slides.com/Editor/ ). Not that I'm belittling the effort, it's pretty amazing work nonetheless. But have a play with cappuccino if you want to see what's…

#69Stupid question but what colorscheme is used for the editor? It's so easy on eyes.
It's a standard colorscheme of the Ace editor http://ace.ajax.org/

#70Can somebody who has used both Akshell and Cloud9 IDE post a brief comparison?
I didn't used both but gave try to bespin when it appeared (it evolved to cloud9 as i know) and liked. it's an advantage to have a universal gui, to not ignore users of other platforms.
btw, i put some effort to build an online ide 4 years ago. i stopped maintaining it because my dream tool was evolved to firebug lite. anyway, my died ide can be seen at vimeo.com/azer for some web nostalgia
