The easiest way to understand what Sandstorm does is through the demo: https://demo.sandstorm.io

Try installing Wekan, which is a Meteor-based app.

The thing that makes Meteor easier for us is, as I said, the meteor tools have a command "meteor build" which gathers all of the app's code and package dependencies and puts them into a self-contained directory tree with a start script that is executed the same way regardless of the app. This makes it easy for us to build a tool which turns any Meteor app into a Sandstorm package because the input is in a well-defined, self-contained format.

We are, of course, building tools for other stacks as well. It just takes more work.
