Comment on Sandstorm- self-hostable web productivity suiteparent

The ability to convert existing apps is possibly one of the strongest benefits, even if it is a lot of work.

One person actually trying to take a pass at this without trying to support app porting is Olivier Forget's Dropserver. I'd argue he's got the closest model to Sandstorm's security focus without worrying about supporting legacy packaging.

I do think if vibe coding is up to the task it should be possible to vibe code Sandstorm right out of its dependency lock. ;)

Not really -- you'd still need a systems engineer who is capable of doing it themselves to guide the AI and review the output. Otherwise it'll probably end up a buggy, insecure mess.

But buggy insecure messes are not a big deal when implementing application code inside the sandbox. So for that you can have a non-engineer prompt the AI and get a perfectly usable result.
