Sandstorm, Tempest, and the Future

Hey all, I'm a long-time contributor to the Sandstorm project, and we
are sort of remixing things and moving from our deceased startup model
to a community-based open source project. We've also recently
announced a next generation Golang-based platform called Tempest which
is Sandstorm-compatible, but not yet finished.

For those who haven't heard of it, Sandstorm is a self-hosting
platform which can make it safe to allow anyone on your server the
ability to install arbitrary applications, and do it securely enough
that app vulnerabilities are largely a thing of the past. I think it's
the only way to make self-hosting expand beyond a niche hobby for my
fellow IT folks who like to run infrastructure at home.

It launched as a startup all the way back in 2014 and has been stable
and secure since, though there's a lot of work to do to make Sandstorm
feel like it's 2023.

Hi, I wasn't aware of Sandstorm and it looks great!! It's an amazing
project. I will read through the docs to see where I can help.
