You're onto something here. WordPress + docker + koding.com + jetstrap.com.

I can see the problem this product would solve and the target market will definitely understand it. That being said, I think this looks like an early MVP and needs lots more work.

I look forward to seeing what this evolves into.

Thanks! Completely agree.

It is definitely an early MVP :).

Lots more to do filling out the features, improving the UI, and stability improvements, but we hit the point where there are so many things we could do next we want to make sure we focus first on what people urgently need.

If you have any needs this could fill and want to see us prioritize any tools would love to hear them.

Somehow after reading the linked site I found the term 'operating system' misleading. My first thoughts were, how would all these poor people manage to install a new OS on their machines in the first place?

This was common feedback, thanks! I went with the operating system metaphor because the UI more closely resembles that of mobile operating systems. However it seems that was a point of confusion and calling it a Content Management System is probably the better decision.

Used this. Love it. Brilliantly conceived.

No affiliation; that was just the first thing I looked for before even reading the blog post or crowd-funding page.
