There is none and I don't plan on creating one. I understand why you want one but I don't want to bother with hosting a dynamic website that I would have to manage. (Rather spend the time improving the app itself.) I include a screenshot and an example is wookmark or pinterest's websites. It functions like those. If you want a demo of this exact app then clone it and run it. It's free and open source!

Out of curiosity, after once deploying it, what're some responsibilities that entail from hosting a dynamic website vs. a static one? Isn't it basically a matter of writing (/copying a good one and retrofitting) a fabric script, perhaps doing just a few things with some Apache/nginx config files, and just putting it up? What exactly makes it more hands-on post-launch?

I had been under the impression that this process would not take more than a few hours by itself.

I also want an example page and dont want to have to install it on my server before even knowing the quality of the product... should you ever get around to it, a demo would help a lot. otherwise, the screenshot looks cool. happy coding!
