I had exactly the same thought when I popped over to have a look at their readme. It's odd they don't mention it at all, as at face value it appears both Plex and Streama are both solving the same problem.

Would also have been interesting to hear what they view their edge as, as plex is already a pretty mature and powerful codebase, where as this appears to be very new. (I'd guess being open source would probably be their main edge right now)

Well, if you're looking for an open source alternative to Plex, there's Kodi already.

Kodi doesn't solve the problem of having your content available everywhere however.
Kodi supports streaming, and Yatse provides very nice mobile streaming and offline caching.
Emby does, and emby also has an excellent Kodi addon.
