qdash Demo Container
Showing qdash meant running it on a laptop, and its made-up company was frozen in July, so the "active now" parts looked dead.
We built a public demo whose fake company keeps working around the clock, in four sizes. It worked, but the servers were too slow, so the next cycle replaced how it is served.
