I didn't know about https://e2b.dev/ but I was looking for something exactly like that. Does anyone know about any self hostable alternatives?

Can we run an agent in Github CI? I create a Github issue with my requirements, the CI runner runs Aider scripting mode (it connects to say, OpenAI api) which looks at the comments, maintains a branch, runs tests, takes browser screenshots and then gives its replies.

There's also bolt.diy which uses browserbased webcontainer to build apps.

That’s not open though right. Webcontainer is closed

Good point. codesandbox has an equivalent thing - i guess that could be a replacable thing.

Having started OpenDevin (now OpenHands [1]) I can say it's definitely worth renaming. It's very limiting attaching your branding to someone else's [1] https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands

idk, do you think you would have gotten the start you did NOT being called opendevin? (hi btw! see GP's talk on OpenHands here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_hhkJtlbSs&t=4s )

maybe the best optimal strategy is leech into the brand while you're unknown, and switch to your own once you make it.

A bit sleazy but it works eh

Can't fight marketing and human psychology

yes that's the benevolent take,but in a market for attention, it feels like a bit of a vampire attack to a brand to spun off OpenBrand.

seems some what of a template now, OpenCut was recently on HN because some chinese company already owns their trademark, which is a pun/open version of CapCut, so things are getting a bit hairy at least, lol
