Hey HN,
Following the OpenClaw craze, I saw a huge need for hosting personal Claws/Hermes agents on macOS [0]. So I built an agent to scrape eBay for below-market M-series Macs and built a Mac mini datacenter [1].
But as it turns out, Claws aren't popular anymore. However, running agents like Claude Code and Codex on a remote Mac mini is a really awesome experience (especially for iOS devs). So far, we've seen users running automated iOS app builders, iCloud app automations, and more.
