(Creator of Commando.io here) - Thanks for the feedback. Commando.io is very young, and while currently only supports SSH, LDAP could easily be added. The alpha build is extremely minimal, and serves as a proof of concept. However future features are parellel execution, interactive sessions, scp transfers (maybe even Murder transfers [bitTorrent]), and provisioning.

You have to think back, when GitHub first launched, they probably had a minimal product. It takes a bit iteration to add the "eureka" features.

I applaud what you're trying to do, but I think you hit the nail on the head in your last sentence. You need more iteration in order to find something that sets you apart. I wouldn't contribute to this kickstarter because I don't see anything here that really differentiates you from your competition in a way that would make people want to pay for your service.

If you missed Alex Loddengaard's "One Year, Six Products," you might want to check it out. http://alexlod.com/2012/07/10/one-year-six-products-what-ive...

You can use LDAP logins and passwords with SSH by using pam_ldap - but since you only allow SSH keys, it'll be a non-starter for many orgs to use your product.

Best of luck - I'll keep an eye on it for sure.
