I went to Sandstorm&amp;#x27;s home page, and spent the first 5 minutes trying to figure out what it is &amp;amp; what it does.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Sandstorm is an open source platform for personal servers&amp;quot;.  Ok, fine, but what is it REALLY?  What does it do?  Why is it better than (hosting &amp;#x2F; VPS hosting &amp;#x2F; AWS &amp;#x2F; Docker &amp;#x2F; PaaS)?  Give me some examples of what I can do with it.&lt;p&gt;Sorry, you lost me with your home page.</text></comment>
