A while ago I learned that Octopus Deploy is no longer available for free and, given the fact that open source community contributed significantly (community step templates, various OSS libraries etc), I felt the need to do something about it. So, I set off on a task to create a much simpler alternative, vowing to, if it ever hits the market, always provide a free community edition. By simple, I really mean simple: targeting Windows servers only.I call it fDeploy (I even bought the .com domain), and I built the tool originally only for my own use (there is some fancy tech like protobuf, nuget API wrapper etc.).

My question to you: would you use such a tool if it was made available for free?
