I tried skimming through the article to attempt and derive the missing elevator pitch, but I saw them reimplement precisely the system they maligned at the start (push notifications with polling).

Did anyone here understand what their value proposition even is?

Did you check the website? The value prop is incredibly clear: they give you a Postgres database you can query with SQL rather than having to either (a) learn and code to a custom API or (b) setup your own sync system to get that Postgres db.

I'm talking about the elevator pitch of their blog post, not of their company. Which are actually two distinct things (they're not describing their service in this blog post).
