Thanks for the feedback! I see your point; we could make it clearer from the start that it is JS-oriented. I'm coming from that world, so it seems like I took it for granted.

Also re OSS positioning - I'm actually not aware of modern (but maybe I missed it), polished SaaS starters such as the paid ones that got really popular lately (e.g. supastarter, shipfast), so that's what prompted us into that kind of messaging. We'd like to create a community-driven starting point for developers of equal polish and quality.

I'm a bit blindsided by "got really popular lately" - these projects would be relevant to my work but they've completely slipped under my radar. Whereabouts are you hearing about those projects? Or (alternatively) where else are you talking about your project?

I'm not a huge podcast person, somehow always prefer a more concise blog post.

Also heard about shipfast on twitter and reddit. Twitter is big for promoting solopreneur stuff like this.

On a side note, LinkedIn has a lot of frequent posts if you follow certain projects. LlamaIndex is killing it on this front. Lots of great stuff and they even teamed up with Andrew Ng with advanced RAG techniques on deeplearning.ai

It’s not just JS-oriented it’s React-oriented. So those JS-oriented folks that know Svelte, Vue, etc instead would benefit from clearly stating that.

Still, it looks cool despite not knowing React myself. I might take it for a spin when I have some free time :) thanks for building this
