    This is the way to go! On my side I've build a very small `claude-vm` wrapper to run each instance in a VM with Lima: https://github.com/sylvinus/agent-vm

    Show HN: A single command to run Claude Code inside Lima VMs

    AFAIK, there are lots of contributions from developers in the French government to the Grist open source repository. We also deploy it, we have instances running in various governm…

    Well I think that most of our users have never typed a "[" character... So for them, Markdown is definitely complex :)

    Hey. A few developers from the team are on HN and will be happy to answer any questions here! We also made a small scratchpad you can use to test collaboration features, if it does…
