Improve setup documentation for new landscapes

This looks like a really useful app, but it seems quite difficult to get started to create a new landscape.

• The instructions could be bullet points
• Perhaps less dependency tools (nvm, npm, yarn, etc…), and less chained scripts

I’d be happy to contribute to documenting the steps, but I’m really struggling to make a simple landscape (even copying others such as lfai-landscape or graphql-landscape.

Is anyone able to give me some pointers? Ideally the setup should be able to be described in a Dockerfile for example.

Got a local build running, by stripping out the crunchbase dependencies https://github.com/floriankammermann/landscapeapp. Step by Step instruction in the README

@floriankammermann Yes, makes sense. There are a lot of things on cncf/landscapeapp that are specific to the Linux Foundation, for instance fetching from github or crunchbase… As you say, the detail view is specific to each use case and the actual landscape is just a collection of images grouped into categories.

I’ve thought about ways of removing everything that is specific to the Linux Foundation. Maybe as a first step I could just extract the actual landscape (the collection of logos with a blue background) as a React Component that people could add to their sites like:

const items = [
  { name: 'Google', id: 'google', logo: 'https://google.com/logo.svg', category: 'Search Engine' },
  { name: 'Facebook', id: 'facebook', logo: 'https://facebook.com/logo.svg', category: 'Social Network' }
}]

<Landscape items={items} />

Or something like that…
