Sure, but you spent so much effort and time making the beautiful landing page and documentation, you might as well have a demo. I can't be the only person too "lazy" to download, and run it.

thanks, I'll consider it!

FWIW I second this, it looks beautiful, but setting up a site on my VPS takes work; even if it's 20 seconds to download and install, I have to set up configs, DNS, directories, etc. Would love to see a demo.

I always assumed that every developer has a local dev environment, it seems I was wrong :)

just download and try it out...setup takes less then 20sec. If you don't like it, just delete the folder and forget it ;-)

You should wrap it up in a docker container. All you need to do is create a Dockerfile in your repo and wire it up to http://hub.docker.com . That way the "try it out" steps are "docker run faulancer/cockpit-demo"

Ah beaten to it. I am working on something similar targeted at .NET platform. Definitely hate how bulky CMS's have become. I wouldn't call these CMSes either. I'd rather call them Content Management Platforms.
