Hey mtogo, good question.
We often develop sites on our laptops. The more complicated sites are, the more there is to sync around (databases, dependencies to install, version control commits, &c). Showoff is a quick way for us to get feedback from clients or each other without adding overhead to our development process.
- mtogo 15y agoAh, that makes sense. Thanks.
- albemuth 15y agoFunny, I thought you mentioned the VPS because you could still reverse tunnel and share the app in your laptop without deploying. I was going to say that it's still a good idea since the day pass is just $1. p.s. surprised they didn't go for 99 cents
- roryokane 15y agoThe main page seems focused on simplicity and short sentences. I think they thought that $0.99 would have looked too noisy compared to $1. It's possible that they are also pandering to people like me who dislike prices written in that way. I am annoyed by the chore of mentally adding one to every price ending in 99 cents, and I respect sellers who write prices like that less.

- mtogo 15y agoNo, you can reverse tunnel through a VPS and get the same effect, but you're paying 2-5x as much for virtually the same thing (unless you already have a VPS).
