EpicWin has potential written all over it. It's entering such an underserved market and built by some respected names in the community, I wouldn't bet against it.

If AppHarbor is the Heroku for .NET, here's hoping EpicWin is the Linode for .NET.

The site looks great. I assume you are working on this - but do you have screen shots of your admin interface or a list of available images? (You are probably well aware of this, but creating EC2-Windows images on a micro instance is ridiculously painful).

Not sure what you could do with AppHarbor that you couldn't do with this. You could set up a build server image that pulls from a Git or Hg repo, and repoints IIS...

Definitely - we will be adding screenshots pretty soon. I love the idea of AppHarbor - but sometimes you just need a nice VPS.

Hey guys, you've done a great job! Its awesome to see more .NET back-end powering responsive Backbone.js SPA front-ends!

We need more of examples like this in .NET to show other developers how to build responsive web applications! (i.e. without the typical use of slow, bloated enterprise libs and frameworks).

Keep up the good work!

Wow, backbone.js really did catch on, heh? Way to go, jashkenas! Now, literate programming.

Wow, what a great service - it's nice to see that there are other .Net devs out there in the startup world building cool stuff. I'll be using this for my next site!
