This project looks awesome; MIT with a near complete feature set included both on the server and the client. Like Laravel for JavaScript. The video was terrible though (IMO) TBH, too aggressive.

Just from a superficial glance and assuming there is nothing fishy in the code, I'm wondering why this hasn't received more traction. A case of NIH? Granted, one could argue Laravel got where they are much thanks to the unique publicity talent of the people involved.

OK - for future reference I believe I found out why this doesn't have more traction. It seems that in order to fully utilize their platform you need to go through a fairly lengthy and detailed registration with considerable legalese. Nowhere could I find sufficient reassurance that the required personal data (name, email, gender, country, phone number and more) will not leak (be sold or traded) to a third party. Not something that feels particularly welcoming.
