Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
