The title of this post is more informative than the Koding homepage or even the docs themselves. A clearer message about why I should sign up is critical.
After watching the video, I did understand what Koding was solving and was excited by it's potential. But, that message needs to be communicated more clearly when visiting the Koding homepage.
From the docs:
"Koding offers nearly unlimited possibilities; so many in fact, that people often misunderstand what Koding is being designed for. "
This seems aloof. I feel that this is more explanatory of what Koding offers:
"Koding provides free hosted VMs for development to anyone. The Koding VMs provide you with a real Ubuntu OS, with a real Terminal, and allow you to work on real code. Python, PHP, C++, C, it doesn't matter. Even better, they are online. Accessible from anywhere in the world. Even sharable with teams."
On a side note, would it be possible to offer offline capability? Perhaps allowing users to download/upload Vagrant VMs configured with Puppet.

I didn't expect so much publicity over my little doc project haha. I'll look at rewording that, thanks for the feedback :) > On a side note, would it be possible to offer offline capability? Perhaps allowing users to download/upload Vagrant VMs configured with Puppet. To my limited understanding, the VMs will offer an always-on option in the future. I haven't heard of a timeframe on any of this though. My apologies if i'm slow to reply/etc, i'm new to this platform. edit: I made an issue on this note. https://github.com/koding/docs/issues/71 https://github.com/koding/docs/issues/71
