This is what I want out of a CMS, I want it to be something I can add into an app, not something that wants me to write my app around it.

#22Ah 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.
Keep going. Don't make it language dependent, keep it simple and lean with the ability to integrate with a static HTML site via JS or a Ruby site with a Gem or whatever else people want.
Juggling a full time job and rent makes things difficult :( I try.

#23Your text has issues on Windows 8, Chrome Version 35.0.1916.153 m http://i.imgur.com/g9Ey8Fu.png Site looks great though
thank you, I'll investigate the font issue.
The docs are not readable on windows chrome, many people make this mistake it's uncanny, last week Google did this when they launched their new webdev tools.
You can try and load the svg version of the font first for chrome, you can do this via a chrome only media query, for example: https://gist.github.com/wycks/42e88a4a6e034863584c
If that doesn't work you can try a .htaccess rule. If that doesn't work you need to re-render your fonts.
Make sure to test in all browsers when you make a change because it might suddenly work in chrome then break in ie.

This was our thought too as we were building a knowledge base widget that works with existing websites by embedding and blending inline to the page's design. Others required you to set up another support site and match the design and we thought we could do it differently and save people time. You can learn more at http://userdeck.com/guides.

Would love to see that.

#26In your example dashboard screenshot, put some content in there rather than have them all empty. Make up a fake business or use an example from your own work elsewhere?

#27Hey guys, I created a fully functional demo of Cockpit in a terminal.com container. (I use nginx and php-fpm)
You may want to take a look on it at https://terminal.com/tiny/vaW1CCG13n

#28Looks great, but would love a working example to look at.
I made a working demo in a terminal container! https://terminal.com/tiny/vaW1CCG13n

It's demanding a email for username instead of admin:admin?
Or am I supposed to sign up...

First you get your terminal.com account (they give you $10 of free credit) and them just start a new instance of that terminal. Once you get it running you will will see the admin panel in the embedded browser or just point yours to -80.terminal.com/cockpit/" rel="nofollow">http://-80.terminal.com/cockpit/
