Ok, I dont know about yall but when I have an idea I have to site down and write some code to see if it works. I know most of you probably take your laptops with you when you travel, and probably have your compilers and everything with you on said laptop.

I don't know if this would benefit anyone but me, because I don't take my laptop with my everywhere I go, including family vacations, where I have most of my ideas. So here is my idea:
CodeRun is a piece of software/website that allows you to program in a language you choose, and then you are able to compile it via a web service, or through the website, and it is compiled on the server, and the compiled code is then downloaded onto the users computer, as a exe, allowing you to debug and everything. All the debugging would be done on the server and then the errors and everything would be displayed back to the user

My friends and I have thought of some different ways to do this. Here is one, The first one is a piece of software like a small text editor that you download it connects to a web service on our server, and you can code and compile and everything else. The second thought is just a website like a pastebin, where you put your in, press compile it compiles on the server downloads the compiled code to the users computer. The last idea was to have a file upload where you upload your code files, where you can do them in notepad or something upload them to the server, and it compiles them there, and then downloads code to users computer. I have had some questions like, since it will be compiled on the server wouldnt that allow people who might hack into the server be able to see people's code. The answer is no, everything a user compiles will be put into a their own Temp folder while their are connected, and when the connection is terminated that folder will be deleted.

I don't know if this would benefit anyone but me and my friends, but just in case we have started a sourceforge.net project and are workign on it. So tell me what you think, and if you think it would be useful.

Also, we cant figure out how to use FTP with sourceforge, we can connect to shell.sf.net but when we are waiting for welcome message it times out and we are disconnected So if you can help me there it'd be great.
