You're being too harsh. Yes his price is probably a bit high for the average user, but it is probably this way either because he's passing on his small scale cost or he made up some numbers. I use Google's web based IDE to write code (at work), and it is a game changer. I can pick up where I left off from any device (that's not a phone). I used to be a die hard intellij fan, but now I never use it. Why? Because it's not in the cloud.

What's this web based IDE called? Can you drop a link to it please?

  I assume he means https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/introducing-google-cloud-shels-new-code-editor https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/introducing-googl... but there are a plethora of online IDE's that can integrate well with GCP. I miss Bespin, it later became skywriter, and was eventually integrated into the ACE online editor. For the few times I needed to edit something on the go, and didn't have my laptop, it worked wonderfully. I was not a big fan of the direction it took, moving away from what I would consider a fully opensource platform, to a paid one, but it does its job, and it does it well. GCP cloud editor uses Eclipse Orion. I am excited to see the expansion of the project, and the direction it takes. Cloud IDE's have always been badass.

Thanks for the kind support, mkoryak. Pricing could reasonably drop to $15/monthly for the unlimited plan, once I reach scale. The current system is not at all cost optimized; each user is a significant cost to me. Economies of scale and cloud-side tech has not been built out, because Booste is pre-product-market-fit and simply assessing interest. The web-based-IDE "Game Changer" is very interesting, and a direction I've considered. Flexible and customizable compute backend. Would be curious to learn which IDE you're using.
