Anyways, since git is decentralized, why go through github? What about pulling/pushing between the user (or any arbitrary git client) and pagoda box directly?
Edit: I watched the screencast, your deployment process is a bit different than I expected so I guess using github is probably a good idea.
So as much as I like everything else about Pagoda, if they're forcing us to go github route with no alternatives, I won't be checking it out.
I also disagree that it's hard to go any other route. Gitweb works great (the interface is better than github's imho) and it's free for unlimited public and private projects provided you already have a place to host it (i'd best 99% of HN users do).
It doesn't support Mercurial. I use BitBucket, on which private repositories are free (and I don't have to use git, which is a plus).
Supporting only github means I can't use it. Unfortunate, because their stuff looks cool.
Thread complete.
I'm not sure whether the designers of Pogoda's site are flat out geniuses or skating on thin ice.
Also recalled a tweet awhile back, here it is: http://twitter.com/#!/PagodaBox/status/60133469107388416
Also, does anyone know about their funding and the team?
On the surface it looks promising, but I'd like to hear more about the team behind the effort and further details on the back-end behind the black box.
That, bundled with their absolutely gorgeous design is a huge differentiator from the alternatives.
