Show HN: We made a real-time editor for web database apps

As a user, don't make me think when I visit your website. What am I looking at? The tagline "Real CRUD apps, zero to prod in a month in real-time." is good. The rest is confusing - I watched the video and opened the demo without undestanding what I'm looking at.

  * What problem does the demo app solve?
  * Which part is the end product (the app)?
  * Which part is the editor?
  * If this is the persistence layer, what else do I need to make a full-blown app?
  * What is this query language?

The video is way too fast and don't understand what you're trying to show me apart from that you can build an app in real time - but again, what am I looking at?

As a user, I don't really care that it's powered by Datomic. I do care that I can time travel. What other advantages do I get from this as opposed to doing event-sourcing in my favourite SQL RDBMS?

Hope this helps!

Also, consider having a friend build the website (content) for you. They should have a different perspective about the product and show only the points that will sell it rather than going too deep too quickly.

You can do it real-time in your browser (including schema changes) without learning any other tools or writing any code, other than optional React.js views and css. Thank you for the feedback!
