This is an ambitious project but I wonder if there'll be a market for it even if the product is well executed.

1) It seems like you'll need to have some understanding of how web applications work to use the UI, and if that's the case you probably already know how to do trivial things quickly like creating submission forms.

2) Related to 2), browsers and the JS community are getting pretty good at doing things like components and modularity. Building apps should continue to get easier for developers.

3) It could work well for apps whose scope is contained in your feature scope, but when I need to do anything custom outside that scope I'll be out of luck.

Basically it comes down to whether the time that cloudboost saves me on web dev is going to be worth the extent of restriction on product. The lower that extent, the more it's worth it. Good luck to you guys.

#1 - Yes, Authentication, Emails, forms etc will be all done with ease.

#2 - We don't intend to target the dev community. We're more towards people who have no idea how web works.

#3 - You can git clone the repo and make changes either to the UI or the business logic. So, in a way you're not restricted to the product. You can make CloudBoost.io do all the mundane tasks for you - and then git clone the repo - and make changes.

We're working hard to make sure its so flexible that you wont even need to git clone the repo - but it'll take time to mature over time.
