Does anybody have Marco's contact information? We would like to chat with him about using his IDE.

[TheCoreh → nodesocket]

Hey nodesocket, I don't think it's a good idea to post my personal email in plain text here... (Spam and whatnot) You can reach me through Github:

I love this concept! I want to learn node and play around with it, but I spend all my time in Windows which doesn't currently support NPM.

With this I could create linux vm, stick it on an old laptop, and then hack away from wherever with no dependencies but a browser!

[dpritchett → redidas]

Try a linux vps. $10/mo or so will take care of it and you'll be able to run your tools in the environment they were built for.

[catshirt → redidas]

you can use node modules without npm by downloading the source directly

[redidas → catshirt]

True, but it seems to be a hassle. From what I've read, it doesn't sound like everything is compatible with that method either (might be wrong on that though).

I'd still like to tinker with node anywhere via Nide though, and Nide seems integrated with NPM.

[rhizome → redidas]

Ubuntu + VirtualBox works easily

Fantastic implementation. Out of intrest did you think about using Ace? Do you prefer codemirror?

[TheCoreh → beck5]

I didn't know about Ace before this. Looks pretty interesting, with even more features than Code Monkey. The only problem I see with it is the License. (MPL/GPL/LGPL) I'm not a big fan of copyleft licenses.

Those kind of things make me think we shuold self-impose tight dealines more often.

How do I vote? I'm told "Error could not vote".

[TheCoreh → beaumartinez]

If the voting widget doesn't work, you can vote on this page:
