Joyent - please make me a way into Smart Platform that doesn't require "git push", but "save". JGate - why have you already gone down? *heart breaking sounds* I had a fuller reaction when they announced this - http://jaybyjayfresh.com/2009/06/02/appjet-make-boo-boo-they-closed/ J. J. Hello,

Joyent – please make me a way into Smart Platform that doesn’t require “git push”, but “save”.

JGate – why have you already gone down? *heart breaking sounds*

It is still pre-beta, but existing programs should run unmodified. If you have invested some work and need to keep it running in the cloud, consider hosting it for free on http://apps.jgate.de .

I'm working with Joyent, and we are working hard to re-launch Reasonably Smart very soon. If you are interested in a preview, and you missed his JSConf talk, James A. Duncan will be giving a talk about Smart next week in Vancouver: http://www.openwebvancouver.ca/node/31 Sad to see AppJet go.

I think it is so easy because they see a good stream of revenue from another place and they can afford this stepwise transition. It also gives many others with the resources to try their hand at hosting a popular code base with a huge list of users. If I had the cash to spare for a VPS, I'd definitely take this opportunity to take a platform for free and run it on my server, getting a feel of how a real community is handled, first hand. This is in some ways a very good development. Just a few good guys with some time and cash to spare must look into it and things might be better than the present. Of course, YMMV.
