Thanks for the explanation Sven. I got confused due to the terminology. I've usually seen similar projects referred to as static site generators. I sincerely wish you luck with the project. There is one recommendation I'd like to make however. In the README, it might be nice to display some sample configuration and/or possibly a diagram explaining how all the pieces fit together. I'm most interested in learning how to get started with Webiny and what are the various cloud things I'll need to configure to get an operating system.

Thanks for the feedback. It's true that at first we might look like a static site generator, but we are bit different. Webiny allows you to build APIs, web applications and much more. The dynamic content is at the heart of the system. We are already working on several "dynamic" modules like form builder, content modeling and much more for the upcoming releases, which will differentiate us from the generic static website generators. In terms of getting started as in installing the and configuring the required dependencies locally, we have a get started tutorial https://docs.webiny.com/docs/developer-tutorials/local-setup https://docs.webiny.com/docs/developer-tutorials/local-setup. In case you don't wanna bother installing all that locally, you can just click the get started button on our website, and register for a managed hosting option - which is currently free during our beta period => https://www.webiny.com/pricing/ https://www.webiny.com/pricing/ The readme on github is just a short summary, but it points you to the docs portal for more info. Since it wasn't clear to you, others might be also bit lost there, so it's something we might need to review :)
