Very nice! Quite a coincidence, but the NPM disaster also prompted me to build litterbox.work as a possible solution. It is a very different approach though.

  Interesting project. This won't work on Mac, right?
  • tapete1 9mo ago
    Of course not. But it is not needed, as Mac users are not interested in data safety.

    Unfortunately not since it is very much designed for Linux. I imagine it should work fine inside a Linux VM on Mac though.

  Why not just use the standard Linux tool bubblewrap?
  • Gerharddc 9mo ago
    The main reason is that in addition to sandboxing, I also wanted something similar to dev-containers where I can have a reproducible development environment. I guess that can also be achieved with Bubblewrap, but when you want to run containers anyway, it seems silly to not just use Podman.
