I‘m using https://www.docker.com/products/docker-sandboxes/

Better isolation than running it in a container.

Looked into Apples container framework first (for proper isolation) but switched to Docker sandboxes since they switched to mircoVMs too: https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/#why-use-docker-sandbox...

Quite similar to how Im using docker for a few years

OP here: Would you prefer to have an indication that the link target is a slidedeck or do you think slidedecks should not be linked to at all?

Sometimes it's useful to showcase some features to make people aware of how tools can be used.

I would consider this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5667935 to be a good example of why that can be useful, no?

And there is https://bitbucket.org/ssaasen/spy if you want something that works on both Mac and Linux (disclaimer: author here). The "run" mode can be used for the "compile on fs event" use case.
