How am I doing, explaining my very technical open-source product?
I'm iterating on how to best explain who my very technical open-source product is for and why they should care.
I'm posting my current approach below. Would appreciate any feedback fellow indie hackers have for me.
<SNIP>
Building infrastructure automation to provision managed Kubernetes clusters and services using Terraform is a very common use-case but requires careful integration of various components from Terraform providers and modules to cloud provider CLIs and CI/CD pipelines.
Getting this integration right needs time and experience. Two things nobody ever has enough of.
We use frameworks to build web applications, so that we don't have to reinvent common requirements like request handling or authentication every time. Using a framework allows us to skip the boilerplate when getting started and reduce the amount of bespoke code we have to maintain long term.
But when it comes to infrastructure as code everybody has to start from scratch. Even for the most common use-cases like automating managed Kubernetes clusters and Kubernetes services.
So that's what I'm changing with Kubestack.
Kubestack is a Terraform framework that helps teams manage Kubernetes clusters and services using a GitOps workflow.
Using Kubestack, teams get the automation and workflow that allows them to continuously improve their Kubernetes platform without first spending weeks reinventing the wheel.

I found that first sentence too hard to get through. I'm not in the Terraform and Kubernetes world, but I think the sentence is just too long and complex.
The rest was easy to read. I think I got the point pretty well by the end, but you could have got me there in the first paragraph.
The analogy to web frameworks helped.
Thanks for the feedback. I see your point about the first sentence. I should break it down more.
