This pitch is somewhat interesting, but, much like Sandstorm, browsing the library of pre-built apps kind of leaves me cold. It's too much like browsing a rather tiny mobile app store. There are maybe three apps that I might be interested in.

Since we have AI now, I think exe.dev's pitch is better: they provide Linux VMs, a web proxy, and integrations. You can ask the AI to build whatever web app you like. I'd love to have exe.dev, but running on my Mac Mini.

I'm working on exactly this bit (with some more tuning for messaging AI agents)

https://github.com/gofixpoint/amika

Doesn't run on your Mac Mini yet, but should get that enabled either this week or next

If you sign up (free) I'll send you an email when the "Mac Mini mode + full OSS self-hosting" is live

Wouldn't it make more sense to just ask AI to generate the cloud in a bottle files for the apps that are missing from the library?
