There’s also MiniStack, which forked from LocalStack after they started breaking developer workflows: <a href="https://ministack.org/" rel="nofollow">https://ministack.org/
Both fakecloud and its website look sloppily vibe-coded, and its “authors” are anonymous. It’s going to take a while for it to earn trust. I’d treat it with suspicion. (Curl-to-shell pipe to install? Ugh.)

  The blog posts are all attributed to "Lucas Vieira" and the dev group <a href="https://faisca.dev" rel="nofollow">https://faisca.dev that is attributed as the author has 2 other projects. Lucas comes up in LinkedIn and looks like an actual person working in San Francisco.
  Re: curl; this seems to work:
  cargo install fakecloud

    faisca.dev is also vibed - perhaps it's a real human using AI to build an online fascade

    why does it matter that it's a vibe coded website?

    Because taste, creativity, and differentiation matter to a human audience. Perhaps not you personally, but to most people. Ask any experienced marketer.

    I don't know about your experienced marketers, but mine are all using AI in some way shape or form!

    It’s not really a question of whether they’re using it or not (most of them are); it’s a question of whether they’re using it to generate work product intended to be consumed by their customers. Most know better than that. Some might use it for that, too; but you know what they say about half of the population being below average.
