I have to clean it up a little bit, but I will post it. I guess I'm currently in a negative "what if" form of paralysis where I am prematurely optimizing which is a software engineering sin.

I'm targeting backend developers who want a quick front-end that (in a way) works as a backend api. It's not overly customizable, but it's solid and people don't have to worry about the frontend.

yeah, just get it out there, I've gotten feedback and ideas I would not have thought of myself from users. One I recently added and absolutely love, kinda wish I had thought of it :]

Frontend design and backend custom logic is where low-code / code-gen break down. It's hard to capture all the edge cases or custom things people do. You need a way to plug into or give users some control. Anecdotally, this is what I have found in my own work and having been around low-code/code-gen long enough to know the common complaints / limits.
