This looks very very cool. But, who is the target audience here?

IMHO, this doesn't have the best Product/Market fit. I'm guessing the target is a non-programmer or just front-end guy who quickly wants to put together a backend.

If that's the target, then why not provide a set of generic backend functions. For the mentioned target.

I think you can limited to a simple set like: registration, authentication, user profile, follow (friend), add content (text, image, video), like, list content, list all liked, list friends, etc.

This way you can become "Wufoo for backend".

Great question! Open source drag and drop functionality currently exists for things like sending emails (via mailgun or mandrill) payments (via stripe) sending SMS (via Twilio) social auth (via twitter, Facebook, or github) password encryption (via bcrypt) analytics (via segment.com) and over 100 other common functions
