A lot of big companies have R&D offices in Russia, e.g. Intel or Deutsche Bank. I don't think there are many startups here yet

Thank you for the suggestions! We'll add shortcuts and tooltips. We were rather conservative about it because wanted to collect some feedback.

The IDE will have real-time console for logging.

Have you tweaked the User Agent header? We just check for the 'Gecko' substring in it.

The Akshell engine will be open sourced soon, it will eliminate the problem of vendor lock-in. We strongly believe that web-based development environment are the future; so we'll improve our IDE and add more advanced features to it to provide cool experience.

It's a standard colorscheme of the Ace editor http://ace.ajax.org/

Yes, we think about it. CoffeeScript support should be easy to implement and seamless to use.

We will share it on our blog and mailing list. It's quite simple, only 200 lines of code.

Thank you! We'll do something about it. May be we'll have a more universal console, where git will be only one of the commands.

Sorry, guys. We have SSH key pairs pregenerated for speed reasons and we've just run out of them today. Now everything should be OK.

Thank you for the link. I'll study it.

I have, but decided to stick with EditArea.

Akshell targets more "heavy" applications than AppJet. E.g., it has a relational database and AppJet had key-value store. I contacted JGate guys. JGate is an AppJet successor http://apps.jgate.de/.

Your comment does makes sense. I should change the front page.

Applications has two places to store persistent data: database and file storage. The latter is rather common. The database is implemented on top of a custom query language designed for embedding into JavaScript.

Here is a database API description: http://www.akshell.com/docs/0.2/guide/db-and-fs/

And query language description: http://www.akshell.com/docs/0.2/ref/core/db/#query-language

Yes, I have looked. I implemented a simpler Proxy: http://www.akshell.com/docs/0.2/ref/core/misc/#Proxy

It's more restrictive, but much more easy to use.

It enables users to develop web applications is JavaScript and host them in the cloud. The only tool required for development is a web browser. And the deployment is instant.

It also features an environment where applications can interact with each other; so they could be really modular and social.

But the query language is much simpler than SQL and integrates seamlessly into JavaScript. It should be easy-to-use for beginners.

Yes, I'll fix the video.

Thank you! I understand your point. There definitely will be a way to run Akshell applications outside of Akshell.

Thank you for signing up!

You can use any client-side JavaScript library with Akshell, including jQuery.

A per user data store could be easily implemented as an application :)

Well, the edition system isn't mine; it's EditArea, a free client-side JS library by Christophe Dolivet. But opensourcing a part of Akshell may be a good idea. I should think about it. Thank you.

A specific for application login system can be implemented as a library in a few lines of code. But using it will prevent an application from benefiting from the Akshell environment.

Thank you for your comprehensive reply. I definitely agree that now Akshell doesn't suite mission-critical applications. And I think it will never suite bank applications or such. But I think that it has a rather big niche.

I'll contact you. Thanks again for feedback.

Thank you, I'll check it. Even if it doesn't fit into the basic Akshell library, nothing prevents from creating an alternative basic library.

May be I'll take this way. But now it's too early do decide. At least because currently Akshell doesn't have many users and applications; so if I opensource the core, anybody would be able to setup an absolutely equivalent server.

Yes, I will offer customization, but not complete rebranding in order to prevent fishing (Akshell login is shared among applications).

It doesn't use node.js because node.js is asynchronous and the main goal of Akshell is simplicity. But it definitely can be used the way you pointed.

Thank you for your advice. I'll check it.

Surely I want! Please contact me at anton@akshell.com. Thank you!

It's EditArea by Christophe Dolivet.

Thank you for your appreciation!

Yes, currently I am working on creating new apps. Sorry for my accent, I'll fix the screencast.
