Like https://sst.dev/docs/ ?

I wouldn't begrudge professional tooling companies trying to use consumer marketing to reach early-stage projects, when most early-stage projects are built by hobbyists, side-project-ists, professionals-who-arent-software-professionals, etc.

.. most? Im pretty sure you have a bias there. I see mostly software developers with degrees and jobs producing libraries and cool projects, very rarely is it the kid who never programmed before, or the 60 year old farmer who wants to try something new.

I think you're biased by the fact that the latter generates more attention briefly.

> I see

I may be biased, but I wouldn't be the only one :) There are so many great new projects getting started in South America, Middle East, Asia, Africa being built by people from non-traditional backgrounds who see software as a ladder to a middle-class or upper-middle-class livelihood. Just because their products sell to markets you're not familiar with, doesn't mean they don't exist.
