Installing Nhost

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Nhost on macOS and created a new project. You can now start building your modern web and mobile applications with ease.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
