download brew and install redis... nah, no time to do that just to get a preview of how it works.

Well, it may be the bees knees, but I'm not doing all that to get a look at it.

I am 100% in agreement. I would never make users jump through hoops like that. Or assume that Redis would be their choice of database. That's a choice for the user.

But Lord knows I spend an inordinate amount of time jumping through hoops like these just to try evaluate software. It's just unavoidable.

A small, simple program with no dependencies or assumptions about your software preferences is like a breath of fresh air.

I wonder if there's an easy way to filter all of Github for these types of programs. Say, C programs with less than N LOC, and having no external dependencies.
