This looks great! Loved the left-pad joke in there.

Could you elaborate on when it'll be available? Will you make it or parts open source?

We will begin inviting folks today. We want to control the upramp for two reasons: first, with desktop software, every time you take a step up in user base order-of-magnitude (1 -> 10 -> 100 ...) you see new bugs from odd desktop configurations. For example, we've already had one user whose machine wouldn't resolve "localhost" when docker was running : )

Second, we have to also manage backend scaling. We have some pretty strong systems engineers, but maybe because they're experienced they know what they don't know!

But we want everyone to be using it ASAP also.

RE open source, today we open sourced our client plugins (http://github.com/kiteco/plugins), and published instructions for writing your own. If you use an editor that isn't supported, it's about a 2-3 day project to create a plugin for a new editor. : )
