We're using RingoJS under the hood (a server-side JavaScript engine similar with NodeJS --they're both CommonJS compliant) and provide integration with a browser-based editor, online hosting and a marketplace with e.g. two GPLed server-side JS apps, Form Creator and Erbix Blogs (which we've launched today - you can find more details about the announcement at http://groups.google.com/group/ringojs/browse_thread/thread/f762405a7c2e9c05 http://groups.google.com/group/ringojs/browse_thread/thread/... ). We wanted to do a rate-our-startup on HackerNews for some time to get feedback for pivoting the next iteration of Erbix as a JavaScript platform. Due to today's launches, it looks like a good time to request some feedback and what you'd like to see next from us.

  Paul Graham congratulated AppJets in this post: http://ycombinator.posterous.com/congratulations-appjets http://ycombinator.posterous.com/congratulations-appjets. What got my attention was the "all-Javascript application platform" that the AppJets didn't know they were building. We are building a stack of web apps for small businesses, not small apps. Unlike other cloud computing/database software/marketplaces out there, we provide our external developers with a really great platform. Our primary target will always be the end users. Look at Form Creator, an app developed in record time that rivals pricy commercial web services! We are building apps that customers will be willing to pay for. If a JS Rails will emerge from our own endeavor, even better; but we are not writing a framework. We also don't stretch too far with the hosting infrastructure. Erbix will serve its purpose: web apps for small businesses.

    I see the parent comment got deleted. The question was in the lines of "I loved AppJet, how will you succeed where they didn't".
