Just developed a new feature, and looking to try it out? The process of testing new features can be tedious and time consuming – you need to download, run it, set it up, and then quite often you find that it doesn’t even fit into a single VM or desktop. All this often creates friction in the process.
But, what if you could commit a new feature and immediately let users try it out directly from your GitHub project or blog without any hassle? This session will present a new open source solution that enables you to demo your features as a service with a javascript embed code.
Github has literally millions of repos (more than 4m is the last I heard)
That’s where you lose most users. If things need to be configured out of the box (and very few times they don’t)
Value vseffort. It’s not just about whether it’s good, it’s whether they have time to test it. Most users would give it 10-15 minutes to make up their mind
Good progress but still has a lot of the previous problems plus requires configuration, OS specific, and messes up your local envUpdates are done in pull not push
Doesn’t mess up your local envYou can use boxes but it’s not the right medium, hard to update, large And wha if you’re using multi-node? Riak, ZK, etc
Doesn’t require download, introduces a new set of problems: Cloud account in place Hard to share Market place is also nice but there’s an inherent conflict with cloud providers as well Clustering and multi machine setup is complicated
Case in point: 10geb, great mongodb online tutorial. But it takes a lot of effort which most people can’t really do
