Honestly I've never looked at amplify (didn't even know about it). I had looked at postal before but it had a dependency I was trying to avoid in a project I was previously working on. I was also hoping to expand msngr.js to more areas (messaging across browser windows, messaging between client and server, ActiveMQ, etc).

Also my curiosity in writing one as I originally wrote one almost two years ago called intend.js but, because of my job, I very rarely get time to write open source stuff so it took a while to move to msngr.js, refactor and release.
