Interesting. Were you trying to "Run" just to see if "Run" works, or were you interested in executing a specific repository?

Basically we allow users to make their own personal editable copies of the Cloudbook. When you "Run", it is first replicating the Cloudbook into your account and then running. You can edit the code in your copy without affecting the main Cloudbook. Free unlimited CPU, RAM & Storage gets included with every Cloudbook for you to make continuous edits and perform repeat runs, including long running run operations.

Not sure how we can achieve this without a registration. Do you have something in mind?

I was kinda half expecting a few demos to just run without having to create an account to prove the value of your platform. If I have to create an account to figure that out, I’m not going to and I’m going to go explore another product. Once your value prop is apparent, I’m sure people will have no problem signing up. I just didn’t see that before being nagged to create one.

That's a brilliant suggestion. We are making a change to allow all public Cloudbooks to be run in guest mode (without registration) for 30 mins. The Cloudbook will auto shutdown in 30 mins to prevent any misuse. Would this be enough to assess the value prop?

On related topic, what would you consider a good value proposition? Meaning what are the things you would expect out of BlobCity for you to become a registered and loyal member?
