I believe there are advantages and disadvantages to cloud based solutions, objectively the advantages that we offer are the following: - Easy setup and update (all you need to do is signup) (good for beginners) - Realtime remote pair programming - You no longer need to setup execution environments on your computer locally. We're definitely far from perfect. However I do think that there's interesting things to do with cloud based solutions, so that's what we're trying to do. All feedback, for improvements are welcomed.

Easy setup and realtime pair programming are great. Auto-updates are good, but only if I like the updates :) Forced updates could be annoying and potentially catastrophic if handled wrongly, breaking users' workflow. A pre-setup environment can be nice if it offers the amount of control that is necessary to accomplish the developer's goals. My totally unqualified opinion on your venture is that you can be successful if you pursue partnerships with places like Heroku et. al. as well as offering it as a stand-alone service. Good luck!
