Upvoted because this sounded interesting: "Our idea is simple - that anyone on your team should be able to use any iteration of your app or website with zero configuration. Awesomebox lets you create and collaborate like you would in the physical world, where it's easy to show people the real thing without having to ask someone to run code locally, install dependencies, or configure a staging server. What Heroku is to back-end development, Awesomebox is to front-end development - a platform that lets you focus on what you do best."

I couldn't find that on mobile without signing up, you might want to add that to an about or FAQ page.

While it may sound interesting this says absolutely nothing about the product.

"Our idea is simple - that anyone on your team should be able to use any iteration of your app or website with zero configuration."

Who is my team and what is an iteration? Zero-configuration what?

"show people the real thing without having to ask someone to run code locally, install dependencies, or configure a staging server"

So....a web hosting platform?

I'm best at sleeping, drinking beer, and criticizing vague PR statements. In that case I guess they're right!

Thanks for the feedback - this is really more a case of "two hackers trying to describe what we're building" than a "vague PR statement".

I think where we're struggling is narrowing down exactly what we do, without being pigeonholed into "just another hosting platform". We're really excited to talk to the many people who did signup and learn more from them, so that we can get better at this overtime. Thanks for being a "BS filter" and telling us where we're wrong - if you have more thoughts to share, we'd love to hear from you. [e-mail]

Would it be possible to get some sort of diagram or screenshots up that would at least give us something to look at? A theoretical, yet somewhat detailed, use-case would be great.

[mattinsler]

We're going to be following up with people to bring them into the product and helping them become successful with it. You're right though, a use case would help a ton. Perhaps this would be a good start to our blog. Contact us at [e-mail] if you'd like to discuss the idea further.

Better yet - if you sign up for the beta, we have a working product for you to try out.

I signed up for the beta. Now I wait! Thanks
