Lando: A Liberating Dev Tool for All Your Projects
- argimenes 7y ago+1 for the William Blake reference in your marketing.
- judge2020 7y agoJust a suggestion, "A Liberating Dev Tool For All Your Projects" doesn't tell me what the tool actually does, you have to scroll down to "how does it work" (or perhaps the "what can it run" section) to see exactly what the problem it's attempting to fix is. It could say something like "A tool to simplify setting up your development environments" (and "liberating" feels like it would fit well in the bullshit.js script).
- fortyseven 7y agoCame to the comments for a tldr, because I'm still not sure what the hell it is. Tired of this kind of marketing blindness. (I'm on mobile, fwiw.)
- snypox 7y agoA docker composr wrapper.
- somada141 7y agoHave to agree, I had to go 2 levels deep in the doco to figure out what the tools does. I'd expect that info to be prominent in the landing page. Website looks beautiful though!
- acemarke 7y agoMy first reaction reading the page was that this was a parody of some kind.
- BLanen 7y agoYep, same. Was thinking it was going to be a parody of another minimal - project management tool.
- ebg13 7y agoHow far down do I need to scroll before you tell me what the fuck it does, though? It looks like a docker image for your dev-requirements? Put that shit at the top!
- pw 7y agoI thought this was a joke. Never did figure out what it actually does.
- thesuperbigfrog 7y agoEqually informative: https://html5zombo.com/ https://html5zombo.com/
- xellisx 7y agoYou can do anything.
- BubRoss 7y agoDon't forget to smash that subscribe button, hit the thumbs up if you liked it and check out our sponsors.
- sdan 7y agoTook me a while to understand what it actually does. Would recommend to put what it actually does near the top next time. Also: I can't help but think of Johny Ive when you use "liberating" in that manner XD.
- sdan 7y agoTLDR: It's a Docker Compose utility [0]. [0]: https://docs.lando.dev/basics/#what-is-it-good-for https://docs.lando.dev/basics/#what-is-it-good-for
- peterwwillis 7y ago...but it's made by a random tech consulting company (https://thinktandem.io/about/ https://thinktandem.io/about/) and it says "for devs" ! they even do "technologies", like Drupal, Node.js, and DevOps ! and they program in 28 languages !
- seymores 7y agoWhat the fuck does it do?
- avip 7y agoSpoiler: the problem this tool tries to solve is developers are too lazy to put a working docker-compose.yml on their repo.
- jeramyRR 7y agoGoing to repeat everyone else. What does this do?
- pnako 7y agoIt's a wrapper around docker-compose that adds obnoxiousness.
- cyansmoker 7y ago"Where can I use it? Lando is not meant for production" Well, off to a great start. Update 10 minutes later: hmmm I may be starting to understand what Lando is about. So, it's for dev.
- tenken 7y agoA meta engine on top of docker-compose. There are dozens of Recipes that spin up canned project templates for RoR Dev work, Drupal, Mean stack etc. Want to inject a phpmyadmin service? Easy Want to override a service ... Equally easy. It uses a .lando.yml file that is very similar to a docker-compose.yml file ...
