Sandstorm requires that the web apps are packaged specifically for it. The process is not hard, but you have to decide to do it. Sadly, most apps that have been packaged have not been kept up to date.

That said, it's a great platform. I have customers using it with some marketplace apps and some custom apps. My only wish is that more people used and developed for it.

I had a sandstorm instance for a while, but stopped using it due to the dwindling community. There are some alternatives now, but the best part about Sandstorm in particular was the small atomic backups for each Web app you had. I haven't seen other system try to abstract above the applications like that...

Sandstorm was really ahead of its time. This is a super hard thing to know, but if what you are doing resonates with too small of a population it will take a long time become popular.

I could have seen it be a great software dimension to home routers and NAS boxes.
