This was literally exactly what I was about to say. I tried Perch out a few months ago and I feel like this is similar... although, much more refined. I have huge respect for the people behind Perch, so I'm definitely keeping tabs there.

Honestly, I'm excited for Vapid. I've always loved implementing CMS systems. WordPress is great, with undoubtably the largest community of plugins and templates, and like the new Gutenberg editor... but I'm also starting to fall in love with the JAMstack model (i.e. Netlify, Headless CMS). Simply pushing commits to Github and sitting back. Netlify Forms is nice and easy, but their CMS sucks IMHO. Which is why I'm excited for something like Vapid. It fills that void I'm feeling.

I can picture myself spinning out all these nice custom CMS websites for clients and maybe building some custom browser plugins to make it so easy for clients (like how Tipe.io does). That feels like the future / next level.
