Hi all, Bram thanx for hunting us. My name is Erwin Blom, one of the co-founders of Stek.io. Let me tell you a little bit about Stek.io. I love good software and am a fan of open source tools, but I’m not a technical person. So installing, hosting and updating of open source software is a hurdle for me. With Stek.io we want to make it as easy as a the click of a mouse. For people like myself and for others that want to win time and want publication, communication and collaboration without a hassle, we built Stek.io. We have decided to start with the tools Ghost (blog), Discourse (forum) and Hackpad (wiki) because we know from our own experience that they make our lives more fun, better and easier. The amount of tools we offer will grow over time. Me and my technical co-founders are here to anwer your questions and hear what you think. Thanks in advance! And of course you get a discount as a Product Hunt user when you start using us!

@erwblo great idea, but as someone who can follow install guides and install and setup self-hosted open source software I will not be using this myself. I am biased but I feel like the market is limited in the 'make easy otherwise free self-hosted open-source software and charge a recurring monthly fee for it' space.

@jamescampbell Thanks and we'll see of course but Wordpress for example works fine with this model 😄 We want to add value by combining the tools, integrating them smoothly etcetera. But you might be right, we hope to prove we are :-)

@erwblo good point about Wordpress, def hope you prove me wrong ;)

@igor_petrov KMS looks really nice! Could you add some rough system requirements in your Readme? Like how many cpu and memory a typical installation needs (without the database)..etc. Cheers!

@mattsonlyattack yeah definitely! We want to use the feedback of our users to contribute to the projects we host. Our first effort is in Hackpad. But the rest will follow.

Just some UX feedback. As a mobile user loading your site, I get a certain way through reading about your product, and your chat message appears, obscuring almost 75% of my screen (iPhone 7). This is very offputting.

@kclewis0614 I assume that is the intercom chat? Yes, maybe it is better to keep that inactive in the corner for mobile devices. Thanks for your feedback!
