I've iterated twice on these kinds of projects. First was Drywall and the latest is Frame. Drywall includes a front-end and Frame is just an API. Finding a happy medium of features is tricky. Some choices limit your audience quite a bit.

Drywall [https://github.com/jedireza/drywall] Drywall is limited to people who're ok using Grunt instead of Gulp or Backbone instead of _______, etc...

Frame [https://github.com/jedireza/frame] I created Frame to appeal to a larger audience. And because all the front-end opinions were removed it plays nicer since you "bring your own front-end". Interestingly enough, now I'd like to provide Postgres as well as Mongo db connections.

In general these projects are interesting and I think serve best as examples of apps beyond the absolute basics. Once you make an app yours, it'll probably go in it's own direction quickly.
