This looks like a really solid app. I like that it's 17 MB and uses the ContainerAPIClient library directly.
28 commits in 3 days, 5,015 lines of Swift, every commit "Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5".
Also neat that it's signed/notarized. I installed it and it downloaded the necessary container platform stuff on first launch.
Suggestion: add a getting started tutorial to the site which suggests an image to try out and has screenshots (or a silent video) showing you how to get that image up and running and what you can do with it.
The create image dialog suggests "nginx:latest" but that's not a great starting demo.
The AI-Maxing copy on the website kind of gave it away. Doesn't mean is not a great app though!
The description of this submission that literally says "Mostly vibe-coded" didn't give it away?
You don't see the submission description when you open the link from the front page.
Can't someone vibe-code a MacOS that runs on Linux?
I think we're past the point where agentic coding is a given now.
Coding yes, copywriting, design, identity, no. Using AI doesn't mean giving up on quality, unless you don't care about quality. Most of these issues come from folks who don't really care about quality and ship the first slop that comes out.

Great suggestion. Coming up.
A tutorial with a slightly more realistic example would help a lot here. nginx:latest shows the plumbing works, but it doesn’t really show where Apple Containers feels different from Docker Desktop or OrbStack.
Something like a tiny app with a volume, port mapping, and a simple rebuild loop would make the value much easier to see.
