podcast interview:
Your Personal Cloud Platform with Sandstorm.io and Kenton Varda on the Hanselminutes Technology Podcast: Fresh Air for Developers

"Install apps to create documents, spreadsheets, blogs, git repos,

Sandstorm is open source and can be installed anywhere.



It is using communication protocol Cap'n Proto that is an "successor" to Google's Protocol Buffers, It is very fast by avoiding serialization for sending messages. Instead, it is using same data format in memory and when sending messages.
