I'm one of the makers of Nestor (previously co-founded @nitrousio).

- Pricing model will be based on number of integrations that you have (there will be some integrations that are free to use: yelp, uber, etc.) - API is planned so that you can add your own services.

Join Nestor's Slack room https://help.asknestor.me for more info!

Edit: PS - If you'd like to try out Nestor without having to add it to your team, you can join this Slack: https://help.asknestor.me

Looks pretty cool! You might want to check out the calendar integration.

I connected my Google Calendar, but it doesn't seem to work.

thanks for the report, looking into it!

edit: you can join the Nestor Slack: https://help.asknestor.me if you need more assistance.

https://help.asknestor.me/ is erroring for me (Application Error)

yup i was using slackin (https://github.com/rauchg/slackin) and i think there's a bug that caused it to send shitloads of emails to users so i've disabled it.

please email hello@asknestor.me for an invite to the Nestor slack.

* Natural Language instructions -- no need to remember commands, just speak to it like you would to a human. * Easier to integrate new services * No need to maintain servers

Thank you!

And it helps you cut down your to-do list. ;)

Co-founded Nitrous (but no longer part of it) so take my opinion for what it's worth.

The real benefit is not in the Web IDE per se, but the fact that your dev environment is accessible from anywhere. That is the killer feature. You don't have to setup your environment more than once if you have more than one computer; you can work even with a Chromebook/iPad, and it's easily shareable with your team.

The web IDE is great if you want to make quick edits (or want to collaborate in real-time) but in most other cases, native editors have it beat.

Nitrous also provides file-sync tools which let you use your current editors with a cloud-based dev environment [1].

There are 3 other reasons that I use a Web IDE now (started using Cloud9 about 9 months ago)

- When doing client work it's much easier to show clients what you're working on at any time. Don't need to mess around with a staging server and uploading files + DB changes etc.

- All client projects are in their own environment with their own config / env vars / DB. So say a client wants changes made 3 months down the line it's super easy to get the project back in the state it was then. On a local machine I frequently run into problems where I've updated my machine or changed config since last working with them and it takes an hour or two just to get the project going again.

- When learning new languages can just create a new project of that type and it has everything you need ready to go. Especially useful if you have a windows machine where using NodeJS / Rails is often much more painful than it should be.

Full disclosure: I now work for Cloud9 (wish I could edit this into the above post but HN won't let me now). I wasn't asked to post these points and the reason I recently applied for a job there was because I enjoyed the product so much.

Just wanted to post about why I made the switch to an online IDE because I only realised what a time saver it was for client work after I started using it.

can you run privileged containers (so that you can run tests that use docker internally?)

Yes, I believe so, but not enabled by default. Can you contact sayhi@circleci.com with your use case and we can figure it out?

thanks just mailed

Versions of the app for different OS's are in the pipeline

We don't have support for multiple people working on the same code yet (at least with the Mac app).

But the benefit of editing locally and committing to Github is that that's not typically work flow - with Nitrous.IO for Mac - you can edit code, run tests (or refresh a page), make more edits, run tests again, repeat, and when you're done, then commit to a remote git repo (all with your dev environment being in the cloud, making it accessible from anywhere)
