   i'm not sure how these guys did it, but one could do a similar setup. one of the issues to overcome is availability of ports. since most apps will listen on port 80, you can use the HTTP Host header to virtual host instances. a reverse prox

   http://macsoftwarespotlight.com/ is offering 35% off SpiderOak pricing (less than an hour left). their DIY API seems simple enough and hacker-friendly, although i hope they standardize their API so it's easier to migrate from, say S3.

   i find that small distractions of 10 minutes at a time are fine, but often we get stuck on a site because we haven't finished reading it fully before we tell ourselves to get back to work. long pages (like these comment threads on HN and ot

   i'm looking for a co-founder, but i don't feel it's imperative to find one at the idea or pre-prototype stages. not having a co-founder shouldn't stop anyone from pursuing their idea or working on a prototype. if it does, you're missing ing

    http://www.cloud9ide.com/ and https://bespin.mozillalabs.com/ come to mind, although the former seems more like an IDE. there used to be a vanilla Eclipse IDE running in a web browser that was built on top of qooxdoo, but i can't find i
