A big part of that is true. It's mostly about Git. But it is also about GitHub, GitBook integrates well with GitHub repos, it links up your book to the issue tracker, watchers & stars as well. Plus it's easy to host the HTML o

It's primarily targeted programmers. Because they are already familiar with Git/GitHub & Markdown and we have some "unique" features for programming tutorials/courses, such as interactive tutorials. But you&#x27

Sure! Pull Requests are more than welcome. I'm currently hacking up an epub export feature.

Here's a cool book using GitBook : http://samypesse.github.io/How-to-Make-a-Computer-Operating-... It's written by GitBook's co-author and teaches the basics of writing an OS in C++.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll look into fixing this. Keep in mind we built GitBook in our spare time over the past 3 days. Feel free to contribute with Pull Requests ! (the beauty of being open)

The service is currently going through some issues with the load from Hacker News. (We're in early Beta ...) I'm doing my best to restore the service back as soon as possible, stay tuned I'll update this comment and follow ou

The global install is only for when you're running it locally on your machine (it isn't fully packaged for the desktop yet, but will be soon). On our cloud service ( https://www.codebox.io ) we do run each app in a seper

Codebox will soon be distributed as a Desktop app as well (it can run perfectly well on Desktop right now but is not packaged). That's a nice idea, and Codebox could do that, Codebox.io actually users Docker behind the scenes by the wa

Hey sorry, due to the Hacker News load a piece of our infrastructure is having some difficulties ... I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, I'm on it now. Check codebox.io in a few hours when I'll have had time to deal with

Sorry about the confusion. Codebox (our IDE) will have a full desktop application soon on Mac/Linux (the IDE can run on the desktop).

Sorry guys, due to some load our datastore is having some issues coping ... Sorry, the hosting service is still in beta, I'm actively working on improving it.

Codebox will actually be released as a desktop app as well. And I think that's going to be pretty important to have a truly hybrid IDE that runs both on the desktop and in the cloud. And what's particularly nice is that the cloud

Codebox & Cloud9 share some similarities (IDE's built with web technologies). However we have a big emphasis on modularity, ease of use. We have a Desktop app (linux/mac) coming in the pipes. Our cloud version has offline supp

I've played with Rust a bit as well (with Mozilla's servo engine) and it's pretty cool. I don't think it's an overly common request, but I could definitely add a Rust stack (we already have a Go one). cmatrix :)

Have you tried clearing your cache (with npm cache clear) ? Codebox is on NPM, here : https://npmjs.org/package/codebox . Try clearing your cache and give it another try, it seems to be some issue on NPM's side.

Regarding interactive programming. I've got some things in a local branch, that provide some Light table like features. I'll try to get working on those, when I've finished a few other things with a higher priority. Maybe you
