> it looks like a web app would have to be rebuilt from the ground up to fit that model. Not at all! The app market is full of apps that were not originally written for Sandstorm: https://apps.sandstorm.io/ Examples: Wekan, Etherpad, Rocket.Chat, EtherCalc, draw.io, Gogs, Dillinger, NodeBB, EtherDraw, ... It turns out that converting a web app to Sandstorm is mostly deleting code. You delete your user management, you…

Thank you for your response. Sorry, I'm still not getting it. Not even talking about big data, what I mean is a very simple database application, say with 10k documents in a document based storage model. Now let's say I want to show a list view and a sum over one of the fields in those documents. You'd probably agree that this is a typical usecase for a productivity app. Now how would I do this in the sandstorm model…

I'm also in the beta, and I like it a lot. It's functionally equivalent to `dlite`, which Nathan LaFreniere has done an extremely good job on. He deserves massive credit for making OSX Docker dev bearable and for providing the inspiration for "Docker for Mac". A few issues I've seen: 1. I cannot believe they are using `docker.local`. This hostname will cause nothing but trouble for years to come. DON'T USE `.local`!…

I thought we should be using .local because it was specified in RFC 6762. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local

   Any DNS query for a name ending with ".local." MUST be sent to the
   mDNS IPv4 link-local multicast address 224.0.0.251 (or its IPv6
   equivalent FF02::FB)

Can anybody in HN provide a quickpath into the beta? I signed up when it was first announced (seems to be over 30 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11352389 ) but haven't heard anything back yet.

If you're comfortable sharing your Docker ID, feel free to share it here and we'll fast-track you! Generally anyone who cares enough to ask directly, we'll automatically add to the top of the list. EDIT: or, feel free to contact us privately with a few details on your configuration and use case: feedback+hn@docker.com

> You'd probably agree that this is a typical usecase for a productivity app. Actually I can't think of any app that matches the abstract problem you describe. Can you give a specific example? Usually the answer to these problems becomes much clearer in the context of a specific app.
