‘Try on Desktop’ Button for Docker Hub

I've already started to do this for annoying environments to replicate, such as cross compiling applications. We simply have a master Dockerfile that creates an image that everyone on the team can share.

The cross compile environment can then either be started via a Makefile, or you can run it interactively if you want to use gdbserver or something. Also makes it easy to have a build server compile the binaries on a code push.

I also was hoping for this BUT the security issues with a container system (runs in root and not user space) makes me think there is a better solution. There are a few Linux package management systems that use a folder to install all the libraries inside a application's folder. This would also run in user space and not within root space like containers need to run.

In fairness, "Try on Hipster Desktop" is an awful lot of text to fit onto a button.

Sorry! Thanks for letting me know. I've updated the blog. Right now it's Mac only because Kitematic runs on Mac right now, but we are working hard on delivering a Windows version soon :)
