Dev here, happy to answer questions!

Love OrbStack... been using it since I discovered it and instantly took over my Docker workflow.

What are your plans for Virtual Machines? I know GUI support is planned but are you planning for Virtualization features to challenge the likes of maybe Parallels?

EDIT: Also, are you planning on supporting macOS VMs?

Love to hear it!

The plan is for machines to be like WSL2: as integrated as possible. Not sure what you mean by Virtualization features?

I won't say never, but no plans for macOS or Windows VMs for now.

Can you share any long term plans past 1.0? Honestly it feels like a finished product already. Which is amazing for a 1.0!

Thanks! I won't be too specific because of a certain competitor looming on the horizon, but so far my plan is to focus on improving DX.

Gotcha, totally understand. But I will say that ideas matter far less than the ability to deliver quickly and with high quality. IRC technically has nearly all of the same features as Slack and yet...

So far you're far ahead of the competition in multiple of the ways that matter most. I've tried all of the competition and I don't want any of it on my computer.

The fact that it is dead simple to install, migrate, and use also gives you a huge leg up when we consider adopting it for our company. I absolutely don't want to spin up a support channel to help people migrate to or troubleshoot podman or rancher.

Congrats on the launch!

I just updated and saw the notification and passed it along to my legal department to get approval for purchase.

Do you know if you are, or have any plans to be, SOC2 Compliant?
