This looks like a neat idea. Far as I know, Scratch pioneered this sort of things to get more kids coding. Kind of exploded into all kinds of innovation for a while. Maybe it will do same with Silicon Valley types here. Depends on what competition their model has. So, everyone, what's alternatives to HyperDev that can achieve about the same thing?

Note to HyperDev dev's: might be nice to not require Sign-in or Sign-up just to see the examples in community. Build the walled garden on writing and hosting, not viewing.

How is this different than https://c9.io/ ?

c9 is a way to put a more traditional development environment in the cloud. HyperDev is a developer playground, like JS Fiddle, but for quickly creating full stack web apps.
