The top of you home page doesn't have a link (that I found, anyway) which describes in any detail what you are, what you offer, what's your special sauce beyond social software development. Nor a link to your blog (that I found).
Yeah sorry about this, but we said to everyone that we are on a invite-only beta. Also all your files are backed up, just login and you will be able to download them :)
We have announced it for 3 weeks. Don't worry your files are safe. We have migrated them. You can download it if you want. Go to Develop tab and you will see the download link.
I've been a member of Koding now for 27 days, and I can honestly say it's the best thing to have happened to programming in a long time. Nowhere will you find founders and staff who care so much and join in with the community. Long may it continue.
I don't know if drawing a parallel between oneself and Einstein, Bohr, etc is the best way to draw sympathy to one's product.
Anyway, the product looks great, albeit I'm always wary of products that require to be online to use, having had a fair share of issues with my successive ISPs. Besides, how cool would a system that sync VMs between your computer and a server be?
I had the same "Squee!" reaction when I first saw that photo some time ago, but many if not most of your users probably won't know most if not all of them except of course for Einstein, so for them the first paragraph will fall flat and the effect will indeed likely be negative.
Does anyone have a link to the pricing info? It's not available anywhere on the https://koding.com homepage. I'd like to know what's actually free and what's paid upfront (hopefully without needing to create an account).
The closest I can find is this snippet from a year ago [1]:
As of right now, Devrim Yasar said, Koding gives developers free access to the social IDE to create their applications, and a pricing system will be worked out for companies interested in purchasing their own solutions. Developers interested in using the free services need not worry: He said anything that is free now will always remain free.
It's still valid and Koding always will be free. If you need more resources like a new VM or more storage, these kind of things will be paid. Hopefully it will be announced soon. Stay tuned and Happy Koding :)
We provide root access to our vms, which is why we require all users to provide a password. But once you signup with github, you can then login with either Github or email/password.

However, I haven't started a big project with it yet. Does anybody have experience working on a large project on Koding?
