"Ship on the go" is so insane to me.

It's like people pulling their phones out while taking a piss standing, or having to pull their phones out when the traffic lights are red in a crossing.

Just, do one thing at a time, live a life.

Shipping code from your phone, whhhyy. Mates, this isn't a flex, it's depression.

Not to undercut the open source nature of this, but what makes this "beautiful"? From a design standpoint, it's basic tailwind. Neutral grey tailwind at that, using Lucide icons. There's nothing wrong with these, but it'd be more apt to say that the design is unopinionated. It's the default choice when design intent is the afterthought and a focus is on functionality. Again, not trying to undercut - looks like a soli…

If you were to compare it to a painting or to the Grand Canyon or to the Northern Lights or like an act of kindness or a parent's love for their child or something, then I guess fine, not beautiful.

But for an open source project it's very nice!

(Note: none of the marketing materials for the website chose that word, at first glance. It seems to just be a descriptor given by the HN poster.)

I'm the maintainer of Paseo. This is correct, I do not use the word beautiful anywhere.

I personally do think it's beautiful (obviously), but I would not use that word in marketing materials, I'd rather people judge from seeing the screenshots or trying the product.

I think this is a neat idea. Is there a way to self-host the web app interface?

Maintainer here. Yes, the web app is a static Expo export, so the simplest self-host path is to build packages/app and serve the generated dist/ with any static HTTP server. The daemon itself is published to npm as `@getpaseo/cli`.

Docs for this are currently missing, and I should probably package all of this in a Docker image. I'll do that today!
