Who hunted daybox?
daybox was hunted by Daybox. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

I built this primarily for my own usage but wanted to share here in case other folks find it useful. I wanted a way to spin up a devbox with existing state on my projects, tell an agent to go do something, and close my laptop.
It's backed by the Hetzner API, with profile.toml files that dictate what gets installed on the box (I have examples for my setup which includes a pi.dev agent pointing to OpenRouter and some repos) and keep.toml files which dictate which files the box reaper should watch. I'm planning on adding AWS + other providers that have demand.
BYOK, with no hosted option currently. Much more in the README!
