My parents can understand something like a physical box that sits next to their router.
They just need to start specializing rather than being a "jack of all trades, master of none." For example, being a best-in-class way to host a Matrix server. Become a best-in-class Google Photos alternative, etc.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoI think it'd be really nice to offer Sandstorm in a pre-built box someday. I run Sandstorm on an Intel NUC which is a little overkill for the task, personally, but the form factor is pretty nice. I think it's hard to sell people on a cloud box that can't do everything people want to do on the cloud. One missing app can (and sometimes does) make or break someone's interest in a platform.
- olah_1 7y agoYep. And so many of the apps are useless if you're not a system admin. So in that sense, having too many highly specialized (or low quality) apps can also be a turn off because it just confuses people.
