Too bad it's AGPL. I understand the want to make money while open sourcing at the same time, but I fear this license will scare people. Are the majority of WebFWD sponsored open-source projects choosing this license?

We've never done an audit or survey of which licenses our teams select in WebFWD. We do offer counsel on all of the licenses so our teams can pick which one best suits their specific business model and product. A lot of this is on our website > http://blog.webfwd.org/post/27490054493/getting-your-softwar...

I don't think there is another WebFWD III project licensed under the AGPL. We chose it to in order to allow people to use and customize our code but prevent competitive services built on it.

If you need a special license for your project contact us at founders(at)mist.io

You might want to rethink the name if you go international: http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/2189-Language-Tra...

"Mist" means "manure" in German.

This looks great, can't wait to try it out!

My only concern from the screencast is that it looks a little cumbersome entering deployment commands in that tiny input field. A good feature would be the ability to create a library of shell scripts and assign them to a machine for deployment!

can you check your email address verification regex? I can't use [email protected]
Re:Show HN: mist.io - Cloud management in your pocket by unweb on Monday May 13, 2013 @03:32PM (#5700886)
Good catch! We'll fix it on the next deployment in the next couple of days

That was our original submission about a year ago. Back then there was just a splash page. No screencast, no beta service and no released open source product: [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mist.io] [https://github.com/mistio/mist.io]

When you say API key and API secret for Rackspace... what does that mean? I only see one API secret key in my account.
Re:Show HN: mist.io - Cloud management in your pocket by unweb on Monday May 13, 2013 @05:22PM (#5701493)
Yes, this is somewhat misleading and will be fixed shortly. API key/API secret is the Amazon way. For Rackspace and Linode just put your username in the API key field and your API key in the API secret field :)

Looks very cool! Καλή συνέχεια! :)
Re:Show HN: mist.io - Cloud management in your pocket by krat0sprakhar on Monday May 13, 2013 @05:08PM (#5701420)
Any plans of adding Digital Ocean to the list? Looks like a cool service!
Re:Show HN: mist.io - Cloud management in your pocket by unweb on Monday May 13, 2013 @05:23PM (#5701500)
We're currently looking into extending support to more cloud providers, including DigitalOcean.

Can you say something about pricing / how you are going to monetize?
Re:Show HN: mist.io - Cloud management in your pocket by unweb on Monday May 13, 2013 @05:19PM (#5701476)
Pricing policy will be published pretty soon. There will be 4 tiers depending on the number of managed and monitored servers: free, basic, startup & enterprise.

It will also be possible to get self-hosted installations with support.

I would have bought it if you supported IBM SmartCloud
Re:Show HN: mist.io - Cloud management in your pocket by unweb on Monday May 13, 2013 @03:17PM (#5700786)
Stay tuned! We'll be adding support for more cloud providers along the way.
