ANSWERS
1. On the roadmap, you'll have the ability to automatically deploy your apps to several locations (VPS, AWS, home servers, etc.)
2. Absolutely. Nearly any web app can be wrapped with a definition file and added to your personal library and shared with others. I find wrapping an existing app takes less than an hour.
3. Yes. Apps are docker containers wrapped with a definition file.
4. For sure! Once the service launches there will be a free tier with a fully searchable index.
5. Eventually you'll be able to choose versions of apps and import from repos.
6. That's an interesting idea, cpu, ram, disk use and bandwidth are tracked, number of visits could be too. I could see this being available as a power user option.
7. Yes. Would look like opening the browser on your phone, logging into your account and clicking the Ghost graphic. Now you have a URL to your new public instance of Ghost.
8. There's an instant use free tier but we're considering also making a short 60 second "Intro to using Cloudblast" video to jumpstart new users.
