BTW your Python example app is broken and has been for months. Someone opened an issue on Github (with code to fix) but it's been ignored for months now. https://github.com/heroku/facebook-template-python/issues/7


...and you can charge this 200-500 buck a pop!

Easy money, I say. Still is.

EDIT: Before I get flame, this is just tongue-in-cheek for all the FB marketing agencies out there charging this crap by thousands.


The internet, it's just a big ATM really.


Yeah, but you sure need to type more than 4 digits to get that cash!


I was promised internet money!


200-500? That's cheap!


I love things like this. Things that truly encourage people to just build even if it is very basic. It is such a good learning tool!


The shareable web console is very nice. Is that a third party open source component or did you developed it yourselves?


Developed it ourselves, well the JavaScript terminal is shellinabox (http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/) but it's connecting via websockets to a Tornado server that does all the interesting stuff.


Incredible! I really wish this was at my disposal when I started working on my side project a couple months ago.

I haven't even played with PythonAnywhere yet, I'm just commenting on how great the tutorial is. It excellently fills in the gaps between django and the facebook interface.
