One bit of feedback is that I'd love for macOS support to work out of the box! I know from the readme that it does technically work on macOS, but that there's a lot of sandbox work that's still needed: Bob works on macOS, but due to Apple, there is a lot of additional sandbox work to do before things work correctly (e.g. name resolution inside chroot). This will be implemented in due course. So, just a data point that I look forward to when Bob works out of the box on macOS in addition to the already supported platforms.
Yep, I'm working on this. The problem is Apple are actively hostile towards running anything in a chroot, and while I am very used to working around SIGBUS issues over many years of performing macOS builds, it's no good expecting users to have to deal with them too, and it would just reflect badly on bob.
I have initial work for e.g. the mDNS setup, and hopefully once I have a stable sandbox implementation I'll let you know.
