The concept looks very similar to the idea behind Mavo[1] and I think is great. Mavo is probably is too dumbed down for the HN crowd, but for simpler requirements I don't see how I personally could get a CRUD app running any quicker. A big part of this is being able to make the back end someone else's problem without fuss (local storage, GitHub, Dropbox, Firebase, Google Sheets, etc), but there are other options too.

It looks like Remake (when run self-hosted) gives a bit more depth, control and ownership, but also the responsibility and complexity that comes with it. I'll have to check it out.
