Hi everyone,

I came across this project and thought it might be relevant for the community to review:
πŸ”— https://github.com/Frost-bit-star/stackedge

Overview:
This repository (stackedge) appears to be a decentralized app hosting solution for Android using Termux and Tor. It provides CLI commands similar to pm2 for starting, stopping, and managing web applications (Node.js, PHP, Go, etc.) directly on Android devices via Tor onion services.
GitHub

Notable features based on the README:

Runs apps locally on an Android/Termux environment.
GitHub

Integrates Tor for onion service hosting.
GitHub

Offers simple CLI commands to manage apps (start/stop/restart/list).
GitHub

Points for discussion / review:

Use-case clarity: The project seems focused on decentralized and privacy-centric hosting. It would be helpful to clarify the intended use cases (e.g., development/testing vs. production).

Security implications: Since this involves running services over Tor, there may be security and legal considerations depending on usage. Community feedback on safe practices could be valuable.

Quality and maintenance: The repo currently has 0 stars and under-documented activity β€” would appreciate insights on viability, security audits, or risks that maintainers might want to flag
