Provides great sample projects that just work, and bundles projects to just a few megabytes!

So far, I like the idea. Will add stars once it has officially launched. As of writing, the team is organizing community spaces, vetting and on-boarding volunteers, and dealing with waves of harassment from emotionally unstable manchildren. I look forward to seeing how this project develops independently of it's source. :D

Low learning curve if you have some basic knowledge of coding.
It might be tempting to go with a engine with more features but that also adds to complexity, this engine is easy to pick up and does the important things really well.
