Looks like a great editor. Easy to collaborate. Next best thing to having someone over your shoulder.

If anything it's actually better. Rather than stare over your shoulder they can sit at their own desk in their own chair!

The built in video chat is awesome, instead of having to sit on the phone or on skype I can just yell at my coworkers from the same window!

Curious question, how does version control (SCM) fit into this picture?

Same thing I noticed. All 4 accounts (which were the only 4 comments in this thread earlier) were created just an hour or 2 before this post was made and the only comments those accounts have posted are in this thread. Couldn't be more obvious/idiotic with the shilling.

I don't see why the company couldn't have let their product speak for itself instead ruining their rep with this underhanded tactic.

Also, their site says the public beta opens in 11 days.. Why not wait till then to show HN so the developers here could actually try the product themselves? Some brain-dead marketing from kobra.

Tactless. They must not be regulars, because they would know that the whole screen would be awash in green user names. The product actually _does_ look interesting, but after this, not touching it. I'll stick with etherpad and skype.
