Hey HN, creator here.

Tired of the 3-hour new Mac ritual. Brewfile only covers packages — OpenBoot handles the whole stack: packages, dotfiles, shell, macOS prefs, git identity.

Killer feature turned out to be `openboot snapshot` — captures your setup as a shareable URL, team clones it with one command.

Go + Bubble Tea, MIT, zero telemetry.

What do you use to solve this? Brewfile? nix-darwin? What am I missing?
