We're thrilled to introduce Daytona to the PH community! 🚀 Daytona is a modern solution to the age-old problem of setting up dev environments. It's open-source, easy to use, and works everywhere. We've all struggled with inconsistent setups, dependency issues, and the infamous "but it works on my machine!" problem. Daytona is our answer to these challenges—a tool that simplifies the entire process, allowing you to spin up a fully configured development environment with just a single command. Our journey in cloud development spans over 67 years of cumulative experience, and our founders are the same team that brought you Codeanywhere almost 15 years ago. With Daytona, we're taking a new step by embracing open source because we believe that great tools should serve and be shaped by the community. Let's make "Works on my machine" a thing of the past! We can't wait to hear your feedback. Happy coding! 🎉 PS If you've tried it, let us know how it fits into your dev setup workflow. Any suggestions for enhancements are also welcome!
