Re:Show HN: Hotcell – local sandboxes for AI agents on Tuesday July 28, 2026 @09:35AM (#49083670)
this looks awesome! i built something similar called shuru.run. it follows the same idea of minting and passing a random key instead of your actual keys inside the sandboxes. the key only gets swapped when it reaches the gateway running on the host. great work!
very similar to something i released last week: https://webmotion.superhq.ai. especially the "virtual time engine" concept - it is word-to-word similar.

Show HN: WebMotion, a browser native library for deterministic video composition

https://webmotion.superhq.ai/

Hi HN! I have been building WebMotion, a small library for making videos in the browser.The basic idea is that everything on screen is a pure function of the current frame, so rendering frame N always produces the same result. That means you can seek anywhere in the timeline, and exports are frame accurate without needing a server.Demos (each includes its own source):...

thanks! we have checkpoints for that, you can checkpoint a sandbox and fork it to start a new session (checkpointing is a terminal state)

Show HN: Run coding agents in microVM sandboxes instead of your host machine

https://github.com/superhq-ai/superhq

Hi HN, we built SuperHQ, an open source app that runs AI coding agents in isolated microVM sandboxes instead of directly on your machine. Each agent gets its own VM with a full Debian environment. You mount your projects in, writes go to a tmpfs overlay so your host is never touched, and you get a diff view to accept or discard changes. API keys never enter the sandbox. We also just launched...

really interesting idea! will check it out. and thanks for making it local-first!
looks interesting, will defo give it a try. thanks for open-sourcing it!
