Thanks for the article. I am sorry to hear what happened to your project, but I think, in my case because I didn't build this from scratch, but it was extracted out from an existing app, I was able to get this to a point where I'm very satisfied with the result.
My goal was to make something that will help myself build, iterate, extend my existing app much faster, and it really did, so that's when I realized it would be great if I can open this up so others can use it as well.
To be more specific, nowadays I can build, iterate, and extend apps significantly faster, as in what used to take couple of days I can now build in 30 minutes. Maybe it's just me but I'm sure if I can do it, anyone can do it.
