I've been playing with the Thin API and prototyping some small applications (music streaming and comms type stuff). It seems like one of the most production ready ways of designing [Data-Centric Apps (https://riffle.systems/essays/prelude/).

From a developer point of view with Thin it feels like you can move directly from a schema to a user interface without having to spend a single line of code on network configuration or intermediate application layer logic.

Some of the Data-Centric patterns like storing component state in the server-DB would be really cool to play with in 'Thin'. I think being able to access your app from different devices/sessions and having the state preserved could be a fun feature and there seems like a lot of potential for multi-user collaborative type apps to be written using this framework.
