Cool idea, and would love to take it for a spin!

Feedback: the MongoDB dependency is annoying, from an enterprise (self-hosting) perspective. Due to their licencing, you can't have a managed service provider host it for you (unless that provider is Mongo itself). I have not looked into what data you store, but I can't imagine it's that schema-less at this point, so perhaps it could be possible to store in an SQL database instead? Or in PostgreSQL via its JSON support?

This is very interesting - we keep hearing about this pretty frequently. Will definitely look into this
