Hay Chris,

Looking like a great project, simple and fun.

Keep in mind that other similar projects tried the same approach before, namely firebase and parse.com. both for only so much traction because at the end, real world applications need more features - business logic, backend that uses other APIs, etc.

Still, looks like a fun project

I tend to agree - great prototype, but most coders whip out basic CRUD code quickly, and their time is really spent on all the additional features of an app. Often, changing the basic CRUD code in the process.

This could work fine as a rapid prototyping tool, but from a feature parity perspective, it looks like you end up with something equivalent to a Salesforce app or Sharepoint list (also non-code CRUD solutions), without the stigma and cost of enterprise platforms, but also without the integration with everything else you may do.
