As you might imagine, I spent numerous days in the arcade as a kid playing 'Daytona USA' :)

Regarding the pipeline, got it. I'm working on this and am glad you like the CLI-centricity of it.

Have you tested various ssh client and terminal combos logging in to Daytona's devcontainers? I noticed that when logging in to DevPod's devcontainers, full-screen apps are glitchy, with one exception: Visual Studio Code's built-in terminal works fine.

I've tried many of the Mac terminals (iterm, kitty, ghostty) and Windows Terminal. openssh, mosh, tmux, and neovim all seem fine.

So I've been playing with Daytona using a version checked out and compiled with the Go toolchain.

I am experiencing the same ssh glitchiness that I did with DevPod. Full-screen applications such as Emacs and vim seem to newline randomly. I think this has to do with the fact that whatever Go ssh library is being used changes lf to crlf, if I recall correctly from my attempts to look into things with DevPod. So the ssh functionality is really only useful for running command line tools. The advertised VPN functionality appears to be missing.

The good news is that, unlike DevPod, whatever you're using for an ssh proxy plays nice with Emacs TRAMP mode. Overall, the UX is better than DevPod. I wish I had X11 forwarding or even a non-glitchy terminal, but it seems that the devcontainer ecosystem is set up to only really support Visual Studio Code.
