Not completely related but, super interesting that etherpad actually started as appjet. via crunchbase: AppJet intends to simplify the process of writing web applications. The applications are programmed on a web based text editor in the simple but powerful JavaScript programming language. JavaScript is used on both the server and client side. I guess they ended up realizing that the code editor was a better product/market to go after than the app creation/hosting itself. Also, interesting that pg invested in the angel round as well, post-YC. More: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/appjet http://www.crunchbase.com/company/appjet
