I am probably an idiot, but so many tool sites (web, GitHub, ...) don't seem to know how to describe what their tool really does for someone not familiar with the product and maybe not familiar with the class of product.

It all sounds so general. And powerful. And flexible. And Plug and Play.

And I realize these are tools, GraphQL, Phoenix, Ecto that are probably helpful.

And of course, Resources, Authentication, Community, Authorization, Multitenancy, Data Layers, Admin, Extensions, Observability, and Compatibility are necessary features in all things.

And they have sponsors.

And quotes from people who like it.

And its obviously a very nice site, since it let's you opt-in for yummy "essential cookies".

But without using any of the related tools, generic qualities, and wonderful but also generic features, how would I know who would use this, why they would use it. And what is wrong with other tools in the class, that this solves.

Is it a complete win? Or does this tool provide a different tradeoff?

Other than being "better". (I get that "better" is the TLDR.)

Or, perhaps I am an idiot. It is hard to tell, I can't rule that out.
