Just reached an important early milestone while working on Hintnal Labs.
I built and tested the initial Proof of Concept (PoC) with the help of AI just to validate whether the basic workflow could work.
Right now, the PoC demonstrates an interactive Linux sandbox environment, including:
- Ubuntu environment selection
- Terminal interaction
- Basic Linux command execution
- Initial file editor workflow
- Web preview support
The goal of this phase wasn't to build the final product, but simply to validate the basic workflow.
Now that the initial PoC is tested, the real engineering work begins. It requires manual development of the actual system logic, preventing loopholes, and handling the hard stuff:
- Core sandbox logic
- Security and isolation
- Session handling
- Infrastructure architecture
- Real-world integrations
- Production-level reliability
Because of this, development will naturally slow down from here. The easy part of validating the idea is done, and the challenging part of turning a proof of concept into a real, secure system begins now.
This is still early-stage development, but validating the initial workflow was an important first step.
The PoC is tested. Now it's time to build the real thing.
