alt Hacker NewsSo, that sits firmly where Django/Rails are at, except that you use a GUI rather than code to define the models? I suppose that lowers the bar ever so slightly, because any management rule or business logic is still deferred to a proper framework/programming language. Seems very niche and limiting, all things considered.

I wouldn't group it with Django. It's a very simple but also well-done CMS. It is not as capable as something like Wagtail, Payload, or Craft.
It’s niche and limiting in the same way that Supabase and Firebase are niche and limiting.
I’m not quite sure what your point is, but it’s designed as a friendly but powerful GUI to quickly get a backend up and running.
It might not fit your use case, which is fine, but there are a lot of use cases it does fit, and my original point was that it’s more than you might think.
I wouldn’t really describe it as niche and limiting though, that sounds quite dismissive of what is actually a pretty impressive piece of software.
No you can setup everything (models and db migrations) with code, no need to use the gui, it's just here for "convienence" if you want it
