if OP open sourced the code I would feel more comfortable about it. its weird that the first thought of hesitation was "that's weird they didn't do any customization to bootstrap" then this: http://builtwith.com/?https%3a%2f%2fcheckr.io%2f

I dont see any backend language or framework. what does this mean?

It simply means there's no obvious fingerprint that builtwith.com was able to detect.

For example, the default Express app contains `X-Powered-By: Express` in the response header. Ruby on Rails is usually sniffed by its predictable cookie signature.

You gain nothing from broadcasting your back-end stack to the world.

bultwith.com just scans web pages and guesses front-end libraries. We use Ruby/Sinatra/MySQL/MongoDB/IronMQ for the back-end.
