Dev, as the name suggests, for developers to test new upcoming web features and technologies so they can make their websites, web apps etc. compatible.

This isn't rough round the edges, it's completely borked, and doesn't even merit the status of an Alpha - the minimum allowed out of the door to anyone not actually part of the dev team.
