Spent the last 9 months on a startup I co-founded, https://carbonstate.com

We are producing an ECM system aimed at the SMB market.

The short feature list is:

- Configuration driven; no coding required to create management systems

- Complex schema support ( nested and linked types )

- Automatic data entry/modification form creation

- Workflow support

- Compiled templating with fragments and support for reverse proxy cache invalidation on data change

- Horizontal scaling ( nanomsg based node interactions )

- Vertical scaling ( new event based http server translating http messages to nanomsg )

- Script driven installer system with UI ( smaller and more flexible than NSIS - <100k installers containing XML parsing and a general purpose scripting language )

Kickstarter to fund finishing the project is in the works.

Before the startup, at the beginning of the year, I rewrote a new version of Apache Avro in C, C++, Perl, and Java to replace all of the event logging within Amazon. The code runs billions of times per day across 4 major web platforms and 20+ component systems.



Do you build content management systems? Both the website and this comment are a bit confusing to me. Maybe doing usability testing of the homepage would be a good idea? to see if people understand what it is about. You can submit your site for free here: https://usability.testing.exchange — it's a feedback exchange place (I'm developing it). Also look at the Alternatives page, there you'll find lots of other places to get even more feedback.
