It's funny you mention that. I'm currently a bit stalled (mostly for lack of time/motivation, but trying to get back on it very recently) trying to build exactly that. I'd be very curious what you think of the premise I've outlined on my landing page [0]. Basically, I have built the same thing a half dozen times and I want to do it for more people, for less money individually. And as part of the bootstrapping and DX, provide training on all the components, how to use them, and why I chose them. Ultimately you should be able to walk away eventually if I've gotten my part right. Or don't, if I can continue adding value at a rate you think is worth it.

There is very little on this page. The bios are cut off on the Team page, the landing page is basically just a blurb. I much prefer sites that enable immediate demos of the thing in question, or at least something that gives me a better sense of what the value-add is. The site itself reminds me of consultancy sites more than a 'product' oriented startup page. Just my $0.02

You're not wrong, and that's the part I'm working on now. I've honestly mostly just used this page to suss out what I want to do, but apparently I could do better about communicating what it means to me. I'm guessing a video demo would be helpful, plus actually being able to take it for a test run. I'm pretty stoked about what I have, but it's just not quite ready to do much other than a video demo.

I'd hoped the intro page was enough to get the idea across in general, but it sounds like I need to improve there.
