this can be quite revolutionary in terms of true cloud desktop and same user experience. Installing binaries for different OS is painful for vendor and user.
of course as others pointed out, writing direct exp might be optimal or every dev should learn about it.
BUT
in my whole career span, whenever I have to use regex, I spend couple of hrs learning and testing. This kind of library for Java open doors for many other things. (testibility, default library using default methods etc.., integration with streaming ). And as community adds to it, it can be optimized internally. All end user needs to do upgrade versions. Can be extended part of javax validation specs.
nice tool, specially modern programmer is always switching context and I always loose my prev notes. right now my notes and gist's are spread around multiple google drives and my GitHub account.
Even if I adopt this tool, my biggest fear is, this website will disappear one day. and how about security. what if my personal notes have passwords.
and second biggest fear is, if my company firewall this site, then I am back to same situation
I haven't used too much many but just analyzing at whole project, using altassian suite makes more sense to me. (even for small team projects.). Using their hosted solutions is quite affordable and you don't want to spend your energy in learning new product or host or learning integrations.
JIRA (tasks + bugs) + Confluence (for any kind of internal docs) is all you need.
Great job. You might need to work on pricing. (I am sure, you are still experimenting). I used google sheets before to get rest APIs and extract information. (internal project). But google sheets being on cloud, provides many opportunities for integration. Google should be more serious on plugin marketplace.
It's unfortunate. People behind c9.io should have thought about existing users etc. AWS did, what they do for all.

Do you want to modify your offering to include free AWS trial offer (i think, AWS offer 750hrs of ec2 something) OR do monetization of your courses and u foot the bill of AWS.
for snapcx (https://snapcx.io) apis, we use 3scale for API Management and Linode VMs for running java apps as web services. Along with combination of Linode LB and 3scale provided reverse config for nginx, makes our responses sub-seconds.
Thanks for article. Though I known about Lambda for long time, but this is one nice example, how Lambda can be used. Now I am planning to use to develop some zapier like integrations.

Having said that, before you jump into making free payment forms for your static site, keep PCI compliance in mind. (even if stripe is rendering form using js).
For https://snapcx.io , I have been experimenting with freshdesk, zendesk and zoho too. In end, as we are simple startup, I decided to stick with
- Straight email support
- asciidoc generated html pages for documentation https://snapcx.io/docs
- self hosted contact us form. (it sends email to support)
- free zendesk chat. (as of today, it's one or two chat request, which sends email to support email)
- As we are selling API subscription, I am hosting swagger based api explorer. (simple html page)
- https://snapcx.io/addressValidationAPI
My current gap is more intuitive documentation, which has search functionality and also in-built api explorer. I believe readme.io has both but no customer support features.
Engineer from ReadMe here. We do have a support forum that you can enable[0] for your users. Is that the kind of customer support you were talking about? If not, I'd be curious to know what you meant!
