Why should I use this instead of Kubernetes?

As far as I understand, this is 'only' a UI layer on top of Docker and Docker Swarm. So this doesn't tackle any of the problems which Kubernetes (or Docker Swarm, for that matter) would, like scheduling and service discovery. Two very different things, really.

Is there a similarly simple and rich UI for Kube?

I think the official Web UI for K8s gets very close to: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/ui/

how is this different then shipyard -> https://shipyard-project.com/

i would love to be able to add docker-compose file and it would create everything for me ( something like rancher ). shipyard does not support this and with rancher i abounded it after running into problems.

I'm not really sure on how this can move beyond a "good to have" UI on my dev machine. In production I'd always want a more wide-scoped dashboard like the one in K8s or Marathon.
