Looks like a really fun project. You might want to reconsider the name though, since there is this other devbox from Jetify https://www.jetify.com/devbox https:

Looks like a really fun project.

Yep, also Microsoft Dev Box: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/dev-box https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/dev-box

  I am not affiliated with Microsoft and I anal but I think dev box is fine. What we want to avoid is the term dev containers. https://containers.dev/ https://containers.dev/

    The overlap with Jetpack's devbox name is not fine. Not morally, given the massive overlap in functionality between the two implementations. At the very least, their existence will prevent you from getting a trademark. Both projects even use devbox.json for their definitions, for crying out loud. If your usage is not compatible with Jetpack's devbox.json, please switch to a different filename ASAP.

      I think it’s reasonable. What’s another way, “I’m into backdoor stuff”?

        hey, I mean, buttplug.io could always use the contributors

      Yes, one would think it should have been presented as ANAL - which I think is the preferred way to present an acronym.

Also, DevBox (https://www.dev-box.app/ https://www.dev-box.app/) which is a collection of small tools for multiple platforms which I've been building since 2021.

Good point. I remember testing out Jetify's version a while back and switching away from it due to some issue I was having. I 100% thought this project was the same, just with a new website, as I did not remember much of the implementation details. Both of them even use `devbox.json` as the configuration file...

  Well its not the same programming wise so your problem might be fixed on ours but as i said in another reply i wasnt aware of the existing project and our overlaps i did no research before hand sadly
