I was doing exactly the same project probably 8 years ago when I was still a high school student. I used to have a lot of websites, too but I never launched as I thought phishing is probably illegal and unethical.
Care to post details about this? Is this actually fast? Does it implement all features and guarantees of redis? Should anybody actually use this in production (maybe because it works on Windows)? Is it well tested?
Looks like a really cool effort but authors of open source projects often think people would read the code and figure out all, the truth is people usually look at what's in the readme and that's all the attention span most people are going to have. My 2c: improve your README.md.
<off-topic> Can we have a HN rule stopping people from posting paywalled content? This is getting really annoying apparently I ran out of my quota for visiting newyorker.com pages this month. I know how to overcome it, but that's a website I normally wouldn't visit from some other website than HN and this feels annoying. This is like the new DRM.
This has been my long time dream. There's so little that prevents this from happening theoretically (obviously there's a lot of coding will be done, but hey that's the fun part). I am very glad Microsoft is taking all the right steps to bring two world closer: Linux and Windows.
With all the announcements around stuff like Docker for Windows Server Containers and cross platform .NET, this was nearly inevitable. Now the server management also steers in the right direction.

Are you an one man army? Congrats! :) This is great. How do you plan to react to potential changes in rendering engines? Would those be shown as test failures as well?
It probably calculates the path in advance (note the "please wait" indicator appears just after you hit 'Solve') then it follows the path with an animation that gives you exactly the impression that it never falls into a trap as it goes.
I agree your comment on his tone but your last comment "Would you please cite here some of your contributions to CS?" is textbook "tu quoque" fallacy. https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/tu-quoque :) Not having any contribution to CS definitely cannot and should not mean that they cannot criticize.
Boot2Docker also comes with a docker client for Windows. In that case you don't have to run or install VirtualBox at all. You can just point it to your existing Docker host.
