This is such a great comment. Tying together all the different login systems and making it work with a bunch of different systems behind those authentication systems is such a pain in the ass. Maybe Sandstorm tried to promote that as the key benefit at some point and it didn't resonate, but their site right now says "Sandstorm is an open source platform for self-hosting web apps" which does not differentiate it at all.
If I knew that I could create a private walled garden with a bunch of disparate apps that are all connected, that I would have been excited about. That's hard work they did, and it is a shame they don't promote that up front. I'm confused who they think they are talking to, since "open source apps" would only appeal to developer/sys-admin people anyway.
