 A standalone, stateful local emulator of the Fly.io Machines API (flaps). Like LocalStack, but for Fly Machines.
 
+mudflaps is the local target for [chant](https://intentius.io/chant)'s Fly lexicon — its `flyApply` applier deploys against mudflaps for offline, accountless runs. See the [chant docs](https://intentius.io/chant) and the [Fly deploy tutorial](https://intentius.io/chant/tutorials/fly-deploy-rollback/) it powers.
