Create cloud servers, run commands and destroy them again right from Shortcuts.

The 35 minute video included priceless quotes like: "Yes we have a business model, it's not a philanthropy, we are not a B corp, we actually want to make money."

Samantha Cole, 404 Media: On the morning of December 4, five ninth grade girls, all 14 or 15 years old, showed up for class at Radnor High School. By 8 a.m. — the sun had been up for less than an hour — it felt like the entire school already heard what happened the night […]
Alright, I’m done. I no longer care about discoverability or revenue, I just want to release this thing. Mac apps have existed for 42 years without this “App Store” bullshit.
Doppi will be a free download for Mac. Self-hosted.
