I can't help but think that for a tool like this you are trying to sell to a crowd of command like jockey's. For this crowd, there is no better interface than the command line.

There are cases where I do prefer web interfaces to command line. The AWS web console is an example of this, but for me this is a case of balancing control vs convenience. Installing the AWS libraries to use the command line is a greater PITA than the need to use the command line.

With Git, I prefer the power of the command line over a graphical client. However, in this case there is little or no convenience in the difference because I have to install Git either way.

The only usage I would be able to get out of this would be to give my non technical managers, clients, co-developers, etc a way to do deployments if I'm not available. One scenario would be for contractors to be able to setup their own dev servers. So, I can see a situation where I could use it, but it's a bit of an edge case.

I work with clusters of hundreds of machines every day. When I watched the video I cringed, a lot. I can't imagine using a web app for this task. I thought there is no way in hell I'm ever going to enter in the hostnames of hundreds of hosts into a fucking web form. Lay off the bogus terminology too. I write scripts and programs, not 'recipes'. A script with a version number is still a damn script.

I watched most of the video, and I had a visceral negative reaction to the product and the presentation.
