The easiest way to install kubectl is actually to install gcloud first (https://cloud.google.com/sdk/#Quick_Start) and then install kubectl with `$ gcloud components update kubectl`
Thanks for bringing this up!
It's the easiest way we've seen to set up a Kubernetes cluster and get started immediately.
And of course - happy to officially be part of the open source club :)
We don't plan on getting into the hosting game but we have considered making it easy to set up a free temporary test cluster so people can play around with Spread. Would that be useful?
We're adding a bunch of functionality for building images, pushing to Docker registries, and offline dev with Kubernetes.
For example, the Godocs for Kubernetes are always kept up-to-date and are great for jumping around structs.
We're playing around with this idea of embedding different kube objects and containers to construct applications across directories, so setting up directories with .ctr files will make the introduction of that feature pretty easy.
