Hello,<p>I launched an Open Source deployment tool managed via Command-Line:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mdbgo.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mdbgo.com&#x2F;</a><p>Long story short - I always found the environment setup to be the most annoying part of web development. If you ever installed WordPress you should understand why…<p>The most comfortable solution for my workflow would be some kind of CLI tool that lets me define the frontend + backend setup I need for a given project &amp; deploys it right away so that I have a live preview of the project.<p>Along with my colleagues, we’ve built something like this, and to be honest - we’re proud AF.<p>We’ve been using it for internal projects for some time and it made our work easier than ever.<p>A while ago we released an update that cleared most of the bugs and we’re now trying to open this to the public - for usage &amp; contribution.<p>But we have a problem.<p>We’re not sure how useful would it be for anyone outside of our team.<p>That’s why I need your help. I need your answers to the following questions:<p>Is the landing page linked above clear enough? Do you have an idea of what the project does?<p>Would you find this solution useful in your workflow?<p>Please see the list of features of the project below - do you see any features that would be redundant and unnecessarily complicate the tool for you?<p>What other features a project like that should have?<p>Any general feedback is also appreciated.<p>Here is the full list of the current product features for your reference:<p>I. Backend + Frontend templates - currently you can compose your environment using the following technologies<p>MongoDB &#x2F; MySQL<p>PHP &#x2F; Laravel &#x2F; WordPress &#x2F; Node.js &#x2F; Express.js &#x2F; Socket.io &#x2F; Passport + any node other module<p>Pure HTML+JS &#x2F; Bootstrap &#x2F; Angular &#x2F; React &#x2F; Vue &#x2F; Tailwind<p>II. Free hosting - you can deploy your project on a mdbgo.io domain &amp; host it for free<p>III. Custom domains - you can add a custom domain to your project- also for free but you need to own a domain (you have to have access to the DNS records ofc.)<p>IV. SSL - you can add an SSL certificate to your domain (HTPPS)<p>V. FTP access - you can upload assets for your project using a simple FTP connection<p>VI. Database- you can access your database (SQL or noSQL)<p>VII. Git repository - you can integrate your project with a private Git repository with one click. You can add contributors to your project &amp; you can work on it together.<p>VIII. Predesigned solutions - f.e. working contact forms, newsletter tool, chat app &amp; more coming soon<p>Please keep in mind that this is an early-stage project which is 100% free &amp; open-source. Due to this, we recommend using it mainly in simple development environments that don’t require huge processing power or holding sensitive data.
