    There’s also MiniStack, which forked from LocalStack after they started breaking developer workflows: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ministack.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ministack.org&#x2F;

    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.)

      As if the MiniStack website wasn&#x27;t also obviously vibe-coded lol.

        Yes, the prompt was: &quot;Make a Ministack website. Make no mistakes&quot; Does that make it less useful?

        You can check who’s using Ministack on public GitHub repos, NVIDIA, Block, NASA, the U.S. gov, the UK gov, and many others. There are plenty of examples demonstrating that we’re doing something good

        If you still want to use COBOL because it makes you feel better or smarter, good for you. That doesn’t mean Ministack lacks quality

          Your software can be great and your website can be mid at the same time. Perhaps the latter isn’t the highest priority for you, but criticism of it isn’t invalid.
