He covered web based IDEs and also having a dev machine to ssh into, most people have either no internet or shitty internet outside of their home and work. How does action.io solve that?

  > most people have either no internet or shitty internet outside of their home and work we think this is a situation of "skating to where the puck is going to be, rather than where it is", but we do have plans to build a bridge between an offline/online dev environment. If you'd like an invite, please email me at arun <at> action <dot> io

    Is there any reason you couldn't keep an offline copy of the environment in the browser by using http://bellard.org/jslinux/ http://bellard.org/jslinux/? It takes a while to boot, but if you saved the RAM to local storage then it should resume instantly. You'd have to sync the state of the VM when they come online again, but that could be done efficiently from within the VM in a manner similar to dropbox syncing.

    I'm offline multiple times a week, it wouldn't be enjoyable for me or useful for you guys at this stage.

Wow Action.IO is exactly the idea I had the other night and I thought it would be the best thing ever. Web-based IDE with SSH access and some console tools. Glad someone else already did it!

Looks nice, apparently supports Vim and Emacs too. Although it only works for Rails so far... there is a whole world out there that's not Rails. And they are only planning to support NodeJS, Django and some other frameworks.

    Ah I see, I really like Go: interesting. I already signed up for the beta, waiting for the email.
