I like it. But it would be nice to have the option to deploy on my own server.

  You can, it's open source. The environment just needs to support Node and Mongo.

      We're working on updated content for the site, and details about the underlying stack and requirements for self-hosting will be more prominent.

      This is one of my biggest issues with a lot of the projects being posted lately - they look great but I don't know the tech stack until I finally look at the code. Would be great if people at least mention if their project requires node.js, ruby or what not on their homepage.

        (I work at Deployd) From our perspective, one of our ultimate goals is to create a platform where the tech stack doesn't matter to the user. We've partially solved this with the Mac/Windows installer - it installs Node.js and MongoDB dependencies itself. That way, you don't need to know the stack unless you're developing extensions (which are node modules). However, I do agree that we need to document the stack better for those that want to install from source, or host it themselves.

We made it open source so anyone can run it anywhere. We and others have deployed it to EC2, Heroku, Joyent, Azure, Koding, and I'm sure some others.

  When you guys have time do you think you could have install instructions for my own env. Or are the instructions for installing from source at the bottom all I need?

    If you're on Mac or Windows, it's easiest to use the installer. Otherwise (or if you just want to do it yourself), the "install from source" instructions are enough; you'll need both node.js and MongoDB in your PATH.
