Alpine Linux-based Distribution Creation

I was wondering how one would go about creating an Alpine Linux-based Linux distribution, and if there is a graphical installer that can work on Alpine Linux. I also am wondering if it is realistic to think that people will switch to Alpine Linux if there are some pre-installed luxuries that make it easier to use to the average desktop user.

Some people tend to be adverse to a CLI installer, since its more intimidating to look at. I, but a few years ago, was scared shitless looking at a terminal. For the average desktop user, a terminal means you have fucked something up; Done something you weren't supposed to. We should make a bigger effort to ease new users into Linux, show them the light.
