Show HN: IndigoStack – a new native macOS app for local web development
22 by IndigoStack | 6 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN, I'm opening up the beta for IndigoStack. It's a native macOS app which provides a fresh take on how to run all the services you need for local web development. I've been building it for myself as a Laravel & Drupal developer and I'm now looking to get some beta testers on board! Check it out, and don't forget to sign up to the forums to give us your feedback! https://indigostack.app My motivation: Like many developers I've developed a love-hate relationship with the existing options for local development on a Mac. If they're virtualised, you'll often get... * high CPU usage * high RAM usage * poor filesystem performance / syncing * command line and configuration complexity And existing native solutions tend to be either too simplistic, or command line-based or both. So I've built IndigoStack with everything I liked and wanted, running everything natively on your Mac: * services are all native & fast * services are standalone; macOS updates won't ruin your setup * able to run multiple services (eg PHPs) simultaneously * easily build / start / stop / rebuild your stacks in the GUI * run multiple projects which don't interfere with each other * config-in-code; quickly and easily share stacks within a team
