Awesome service! I've been testing it hard these days and I'm very pleased. One small request, could you allow changing the ssh port to 443 from the web?
When reading stuff like this I wonder, how do the Windows folks manage to do the same? A browser disguised as Visual Studio? doubledesktop.exe? I'm so thankful for my *nix with all these little toys.
The thing is you have to be a medium-to-expert to be confident about Composer dependencies, every new dev is going to use the language API, which resembles a bunch of functions with no general pattern.
PHP users need to keep it together and set a common base, a standard library with sane defaults.
Hi! Cuban here, pretty much same situation as you, I feel your pain, every time I see the little broken robot when attempting to get anything from Google Code I thank we have Github and Bitbucket.
If Github gets blocked we should get something on, If only blocked governments took this issue seriously and had these essential services covered, but I guess something as amazing as github takes real starters and not some lame government founded dev group.
Anyway, just saying, we blocked people should hang around more often.
Por que começar com português?
Queríamos começar com uma comunidade que atendesse a dois requisitos:
Um grande número de desenvolvedores talentosos, em que
Grande parte deles se sentisse muito mais confortável em falar sua própria língua do que o inglês
Why start with portugese?
We wanted to begin with a community that fulfilled two requisites:
Having a large number of talented developers and many of them feeling much more comfortable speaking their own language than English.
It seems to me this is a move to catch Brazilian developers, a wise move I'd say.
I know there is Symfony, Laravel, Slim and the rest but what bothers me about PHP is the language itself. It feels clumsy, full of monkeypatches all over it, as the result of many different shools of thought.
On the other side Python feels like one mind's labour, it just fits togheter.
I read a lot of technical docs in English, and watch a lot of movies without subtitles to force my brain to catch the words, it worked pretty well so far.
I'm starting to read non-tech literature, is another league but I like it, is cool reading a book in its original language. (Robinson Crusoe right now..)
Jimmy Wales is a role model, you must have modesty and defined objectives to build that humongous platform and refuse to monetize, his quotations of "The Fountainhead" made me read it, awesome, the man really is a Howard Roark.
