Hosting software is hard. Hosting software shouldn’t be hard. There are so many awesome applications in the world that it is kind of mind-blowing how much knowledge you need just to use these applications. We want to allow everyone to be able to run their own software; it doesn’t matter if you barely know how to use a mouse or if you are a Kubernetes expert. We will give sane defaults to those who need it and give flexibility to those who require it.
Another thing that has been bothering us is the limited appreciation these open-source software maintainers get. Developing software is hard; developing open-source software is even harder because a lot of people do not realise or appreciate how much time and effort goes into this. By allowing everyone to run software, we reach people who otherwise wouldn’t know how to use this software. We want to give back to this community and show these maintainers appreciation.
When you combine both of these issues, we can only reach one conclusion: we need to do better. And StartEnv is our answer to this. StartEnv will be our vision of what hosting software should look like. We hope that you want to be part of this.
Hey, everyone, Zander here, and I am the founder of StartEnv. I’ve been developing software for the better part of my life. In my years of experience, I’ve noticed that a common enemy of developers is the hosting part. It is complicated and hard. I’m building (along with 2 others) StartEnv to solve this problem.
