JetBrains is one of the most interesting developer-minded companies out there right now and have been for a number of years. Between IntelliJ IDEA (Java and all things JVM, and then some), Resharper (must-have extension for Visual Studio), all their other IDEs built on the IntelliJ IDEA core (Webstorm, Phpstorm, RubyMine, PyCharm, ..?) and all the other great tools they offer (TeamCity for one), I don't know what this developer's life would look like without them.
TL;DR: efdee <3 JetBrains.

I love this. When I'm browsing code on github (which I do often), I find myself trying to use my editor's hotkeys to jump around in the source. I've been hoping for something like that, and now that this exists, I think it's just a matter of time before github implements it.
Here is the actual site: https://upsource.jetbrains.com/ Although it appears to be down right now.
We're looking into it. It's still 'early' EAP :).
Out of curiosity, I tried to log in with my Google account and then got this when I was sent back to https://upsource.jetbrains.com:
Cannot get icons from server. You do not have permission to access the requested resource

That's very strange. Can you contact me offline and I can put you in touch with the team? hadi at jetbrains.
This piece of software looks awesome. Kudos to JetBrains! However, could you guys fix the sluggishness of PyCharm? PyCharm is awesome too, but this problem renders the IDE cumbersome. I run it on a MacBook Pro i7 with 16GB of RAM and a SSD, so it's not my hardware. If you guys take care of that I will certainly keep renewing its yearly subscription.
i used to have a lot of problems with intellij/pycharm when i first upgraded to a macbook pro retina. turns out the major performance problems i experienced on 12.0 were from the block cursor mode. disabled that and its pretty lightning quick now. the newer 13.0 EAP releases are even faster.
Seems like it could be a serious competitor to Github -- the code browsing would be a huge step over what Github offers. However, there is no indication JetBrains want to go that route.
HN effect :) Thanks, guys, working to get it up now.
This is great. I can see them going for a revision control system next and build the complete eco system.
They're already working on that. They demoed some really early version in Malmö, Sweden recently. There's a video somewhere.
All videos from Malmö are posted in company blog http://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2013/09/12/jetbrains-day-fooc...
JetBrains guys usually fail to disappoint, I'm really curious how this is going to work (out).
What really isn't mentioned here in the threads, and the thing that really caught my eye, was the inspections. The notations of where potential errors were in the code. This is amazing, and would make code reviews so much easier.
This struck me as one of the most interesting features too - especially if it keeps track of new static analysis issues introduced/fixed in code - currently I use TeamCity and it's got integration with inspections too but it would be really interesting to see a good UI for exploring this data as it changes across commits - like Sonar
So it's something like Eclipse Orion? http://www.eclipse.org/orion/
Orion is an editor. Upsource is mainly a browser. R/W vs R/O.
I wish that Atlassian would buy rights to Upsource so they could use it in Stash.
Atlassian and JetBrains are competitors. Don't see it happening.
Though a Salesforce, Atlassian, and JetBrains three way merger would be cool.
Are you sure? JetBrains uses Atlassian http://confluence.jetbrains.com/dashboard.action
I stand corrected. They seem to have collaborated on other tools too.
But they seem to be in direct competition in this could make for nice integration with Teamcity and Bamboo is a competing product.

They do already have that tool, you know? https://www.atlassian.com/software/crucible/overview
(but I think Upstream has every chance of blowing it out of the water)
Perhaps you meant Fisheye ? https://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/overview
This combines both of them, both source repository viewer (fisheye) and code review (crucible).
One interesting feature, as yet unimplemented (it seems) is semantic diffs: why show 1000 renames of a class or variable name in your diff, when a simple "foo was renamed to bar" would suffice?
I got excited there for a second thinking that this will be, among other things, a continuous integration tool, but it is not presented as that. Yet?
That's what TeamCity's for (http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/). Seems like they'd work well together.
I've not used development tools as good as theirs since the days when Borland was handing Microsoft it's own head in the IDE wars of the late 90's.
Phpstorm in particular makes the language much more fun to work with and it stops you dropping out the flow state with stupid paper cut errors/messages.
aka don't make me think.
