Cool, but as a developer I'm having trouble seeing the market fit. Like many devs, I have my preferred IDE and I'm religious about it. And I'm fine with running my own server if it means I don't have to commit to a new proprietary framework; that's kind of a huge deal. I can see the benefit to budding web developers looking to get started, but those are probably also least likely to be paying for dev tools. This seem…

The Akshell engine will be open sourced soon, it will eliminate the problem of vendor lock-in. We strongly believe that web-based development environment are the future; so we'll improve our IDE and add more advanced features to it to provide cool experience.

I have Firefox "3.6.16pre," through Ubuntu. When I try to access the app, it tells me that my browser isn't supported and sends me to mozilla.com to download... Firefox 3.6.15 Version check bug?

Have you tweaked the User Agent header? We just check for the 'Gecko' substring in it.

Great work, congratulations! - Can you make the save-preview-reload cycle (much) faster? I found out that command-S triggered a Save, that's great. Does "Preview" have a keyboard shortcut as well? Could you have tooltips (when 'mouseovering' the toolbar icons) show the keyboard shortcut? In TextWrangler (and BBEdit in the past), I have F1 as the "Run" item of the shebang menu. It even works with unsaved files; develo…

Thank you for the suggestions! We'll add shortcuts and tooltips. We were rather conservative about it because wanted to collect some feedback.

The IDE will have real-time console for logging.

Is it just me or is the Name field actually a single word "username"? I tried my name with space, it did not work but a single username worked just fine! If latter, you might want to change the Name: field to Username:.

You're right, we're changing the copy to "Username". We also want to encourage people to use the same username as on GitHub to make way for tighter integration with GitHub in the future.

Very cool, now if someone could just make a Javascript IDE that works on the desktop, I'm just beginning to work in node.js and do most of my PHP in NetBeans, I really want an IDE that recognises that a project can be JS!

We are considering HTML5 offline support. So essentially you could do all the editing locally and even test/run the modules that don't have core library dependencies from within the browser rather than on the server.

Thanks, now I'm not going to pay attention in class... :)

What class is this? If it's anything programming related, perhaps we can introduce Akshell into the curriculum? I'm already talking to some universities in Europe.

Some worthless Communication class, I'm all for introducing Akshell into that class!
