    Thank you very much. If you have any questions I'm here to answer it. We really work hard on it and seeing it public is a great moment for us.

      Your home page link to your Terms of Service is https://koding.com/toc.html https://koding.com/toc.html and it 404s. The top of you home page doesn't have a link (that I found, anyway) which describes in any detail what you are, what you offer, what's your special sauce beyond social software development. Nor a link to your blog (that I found).

        thanks for pointing out - an oversight, it's been a long day, will fix.

It's a fantastic platform; I'm just irked that my VM with all of my work was destroyed without so much as an e-mail prior to the release. :(
- farslan 13y ago
  Yeah sorry about this, but we said to everyone that we are on a invite-only beta. Also all your files are backed up, just login and you will be able to download them :)
- fatihacet 13y ago
  We have announced it for 3 weeks. Don't worry your files are safe. We have migrated them. You can download it if you want. Go to Develop tab and you will see the download link.

    Announced by... An email? Or a post within Koding? At any rate, I'm glad to hear that they are backed up.

I've been a member of Koding now for 27 days, and I can honestly say it's the best thing to have happened to programming in a long time. Nowhere will you find founders and staff who care so much and join in with the community. Long may it continue.

Congrats to the team for the long way!

I have been using Koding for a while. It's pretty awesome to be able to play with open source projects without setting a dev environment. However, I haven't started a big project with it yet. Does anybody have experience working on a large project on Koding?

I don't know if drawing a parallel between oneself and Einstein, Bohr, etc is the best way to draw sympathy to one's product. Anyway, the product looks great, albeit I'm always wary of products that require to be online to use, having had a fair share of issues with my successive ISPs. Besides, how cool would a system that sync VMs between your computer and a server be?

  I had the same "Squee!" reaction when I first saw that photo some time ago, but many if not most of your users probably won't know most if not all of them except of course for Einstein, so for them the first paragraph will fall flat and the effect will indeed likely be negative.

Does anyone have a link to the pricing info? It's not available anywhere on the https://koding.com https://koding.com homepage. I'd like to know what's actually free and what's paid upfront (hopefully without needing to create an account). The closest I can find is this snippet from a year ago [1]: As of right now, Devrim Yasar said, Koding gives developers free access to the social IDE to create their applications, and a pricing system will be worked out for companies interested in purchasing their own solutions. Developers interested in using the free services need not worry: He said anything that is free now will always remain free. [1]: http://sdtimes.com/link/36498 http://sdtimes.com/link/36498

  It's still valid and Koding always will be free. If you need more resources like a new VM or more storage, these kind of things will be paid. Hopefully it will be announced soon. Stay tuned and Happy Koding :)

Why "Login with Github" button only get username and e-mail address? It would be more useful.
- getriver 13y ago
  We provide root access to our vms, which is why we require all users to provide a password. But once you signup with github, you can then login with either Github or email/password.
