This is awesome.. And Immediately runs into the problem of being purely SaaS. I can't use this for APIs that I develop internally within my 'Big Company'.

If I could host this somewhere behind my firewall, then something like this becomes a no brainer. But making me try to convince my security team to send all of my API calls and design to an external service puts a huge barrier to entry for me politically.

I love the idea to the point that I started searching for something similar that I could host inside. Even Github lets me host a copy of their software somewhere nice and corporate safe.

I wish more service providers would offer more than just 'pure SaaS' to allow for easier adoption by corporate customers.

I do believe we'll be providing on-premise instances as Github does in the future.

However, as github hasn't provided this from year one, so are we. Choosing priorities is hard in startup and on-premise takes a lot of resources.

...which is what seed is for ;)

Meanwhile, you can still use our format separately from Apiary SaaS. Please take a look: http://apiblueprint.org/
