I'm impressed.
Later in the day I'll dive a little deeper, but between frictionless "add an app" process to the way it feels like a local development environment - I think you've got a winner here.
Now, when can I pay you for this service? :)
We are currently giving away one free app per account. If you would like more, you can pay $10/month per extra app. (My Account -> Payment).
We're still early and are working out the pricing details.
Definitely shoot me an e-mail if you have any specific questions for education/teams: michael @ runkite.com
Edit: I would have liked to be able to paste in my password with Command-V in the Mac client. (I use LastPass, and had to right-click to paste my password in.)
Sorry about that bug. We are aware of it. We'll most likely push out a fix with the next update. =)
It would be helpful if there was some pricing page so I know what I am getting myself into.
We give away one hosted dev environment for free and charge 10$/month per app you want to build with it afterwards. The pricing amount is definitely not fixed - we just started our beta and wanted to hear thoughts from the HN community regarding the whole concept / experience.
We originally designed Kite for django/rails/node/static html. But then Ghost was released.
Devs can use Kite to host a Ghost blog but also edit its underlying code without having to worry about setting it up locally and then pushing it somewhere else. We're really hoping that this makes contributing to the Ghost codebase & designing themes way easier.
Shoot me an email at michael @ runkite.com if you ever have any questions / suggestions or anything.
We've included as much cross-platform code as possible in the client so we can start supporting Windows ASAP. I can't give an exact date but we're working hard on it.
