WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Honestly, the biggest pain point around adding ARM support is that it'll be a pain to create ARM-compatible packages for all the apps. I definitely think the largest unanswered question in ARM support for Sandstorm.io is "how do we make it convenient for app developers to release packages for multiple architectures?"
That being said, I'd be super excited at the possible expansion of the community ARM support would bring.
By the way, regarding seccomp, there's a new experimental seccomp filter which operates as a whitelist instead of a blacklist: https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/pull/3502
Yes. I really enjoy IPFS and fully intend to use it in my next project, but there is still quite a bit to be desired. I think the IPFS cluster project may end up being what I'm looking for, but it currently has a few issues that need to be worked out:
https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster/issues/1226
Ideally, I could provide instructions for app users to follow my cluster, set the amount of content they want to share, track the size of content they've pinned and for how long, and provide rewards/incentives through the app for doing so.. similar to how private trackers work.
I've been doing some experimentation along the same lines ... I've got a small proof-of-concept working where I can sync Earthstar databases between multiple Sandstorm instances - each "grain" acts as a pub, and you can use "webkeys" as pubs. I'm using powerbox-http-proxy to request capabilities for connections, so it works even with fully sandboxed client-side networking (ALLOW_LEGACY_RELAXED_CSP=false). It's maddeningly complex to do simple networking, but it's amazing to have the security layer there. I'll put together a blog post / video soonish.

Sandstorm is very interesting for privacy-focused peer-to-peer because it has the tools in place to sandbox networking. The networking security model is designed to prevent things from talking to each other without user approvals - so it's extra tricky to do peer-to-peer things with it.
I'm excited to try to stick some of my old IPFS/IPLD/libp2p/Dat/CRDT things into Sandstorm - there's a tonne of interesting things that could be done with it.
Something like https://dqlite.io/ would fit your needs? It's distributed thanks to Raft with all consequences. It's not viable to call it P2P as it lacks node discovery et cetera. Yet, it's distributed.
