Seeing as today seems to be the one month adversity of jsapp.us, it seems only fitting to have a small reflection on what has changed and happened over the last month or so. When I first started announcing Jsapp.us, I was doing it through the node.js irc room. In fact it was from a conversation that I had in irc, where I got the idea to add the sidebar. I think that this sidebar greatly helped people understand some of the capabilities of the system rather then just seeing a coding editor.
Within the first week of jsapp, it was on the reddit/programming page and hacker news. This is a graph of the bandwidth that the site was using during this time. The smaller section is about 24 hours after it started on reddit. And the larger spike is getting onto the hacker news page for about 3 hours.
During this time of rapid growth, most of the actions only dealt with running the test of node. From the comments that I was reading, a large number of people had been wanting to try node out but found it to be somewhat difficult to get up and running on a windows box.
Now that the number of people coming to the site has died down, the deployment system is getting used more as more and ore people are getting use to the idea having a web editor and being able to deploy their apps.
There have also been some features added to the system after its initial upstarting. First there is now support for an http client. before this was just left blank and was not working. There is also a profile view, in which all user have a profile that they can write content in, and view their applications and shared files. Along with the profile view there is now support for importing files from other users when they have made said file public. This can make it convent by not having to load in ones own version of the library to their own file system to use it.
Some stats: In the first month there were 500 accounts created, 100 applications deployed, and 20,000 visits
