Thanks! I had a lot of fun building it.

Basically, the target audience is people who have some experience programming, but who are not actual developers and have no experience in JavaScript land. There are a lot of graduate students at our institution that fit this description (e.g., some experience hacking together scripts in Python). The goal is for semi-technical users to be able to create forms in a JSON-like way, and for more experienced users to be able to implement whatever they can think of.

Also, I wanted to extract our build tooling into something that people can use without understanding anything about module bundling or needing to use a CLI (which the target users often find scary).
