The cloud feature sounds like a nice product, but I think ordinaryradial was suggesting something else (or if he wasn't, I am): a toy app on your own pages that also has the automation scripts "pre-injected". It would be limited to just running on that sample app but would let people try it out immediately in their own browser without needing to install an extension or use a full-blown virtual browser.
Ah yes, I get the gist - I didn't explain the rationale well!
Creating that toy environment on a single page would result in us engineering something totally new, just for demo purposes.
It's easier to just virtualise everything like browserstack. That way, we don't make anything new, we just virtualise what we've already built, and you can try it, instantly.
It's the same result, but in one case, we spend on engineering, but in the other, we spend on hosting.
That’s certainly fair - you’ve got to build out the cloud offering anyway. Makes sense, even if the toy idea is in some ways simpler from a technology point of view; dev resources aren’t free.
