I don't really understand how "stateless" fits in here. As in it's HTTP-based? As in it doesn't need a database behind it? What does stateless mean in this case?

In general, I think the readme's not bad. I think the example is eye-catching, and I can imagine this would be really nice to make a prototype with. Whether or not it would scale well etc, yes, it would be good to have some of that detail. But I can see a really good use for it already.

stateless in web frameworks means that requests don't alter state of the code for a user. If you look at say JSP with traditional Spring, it tracks the state of each user on the website, which page they are on, which flags they have, etc.
