So it seems like we made this announcement a little early. We wanted to gauge initial interest in the general concept, but we didn't state this clearly enough. Sorry about that.

If anyone wants to remove their invite then please get in touch - rich@roo.md

We're looking to launch properly in the coming weeks as soon as we have a viable product. We'll update again once we're actually ready.


We didn't really feel that we tricking people, but definitely take these points on board.

If anyone wants their details removed let me know - rich@roo.md


We discussed this... at length. But in the end decided it would be better to get some early feedback rather than blindly go forward. This may have been as mistake.

We're working on the initial version, but this really isn't ready for public consumption yet, unfortunately.


We use the information requested to generate your profile on the site, but I see your point at this stage so will remove some of the extra options.


Hi, we're working on getting the full product ready so it's just an invite page at the moment. Did you have any specific queries?

What OS are you running? We tested on Firefox so should work. Relies on having a Facebook account right now so could that be the issue?


I think the issue is that this is a completely unknown company/product. Why should users give out any personal information to request for an invite for something with next to no information.


I use a similar setup and it seems like the obvious choice to me - all the benefits of a sane dev environment and you still get the build quality and prettiness of os x for everything else.

Vagrant is a really nice tool for maintaining your development environment via chef or puppet

Agree on Vagrant, great for headless deployment/testing workflows.
