To be clear we solve some of the same problems. We just provide different solutions. StamPlay appears to be a visual development workflow where as Brightwork leverages the skills you already have and just provides a way to speed up backend development.

Both solutions offload infrastructure hosting and management.

To get started on the Brightwork platform all you need to understand is basic RESTful services, JSON and JavaScript.

Our hopes is that on boarding a new developer on the platform who has the aforementioned skills will only take about 10 mins of setup and learning time.

The main reason is that you only need to learn the Brightwork constructs: BrightStacks (vertical APIs, Data, Storage, etc), BrightPacks (pre-bundled code and workflow, e.g. user registration) and BrightBots (your code).

In the future we hope to build a community around BrightPacks. Allowing users to contribute. For Example, the Core BrightPack will offer user authentication and registration. However, it will not offer secondary SMS verification. Maybe someone would want to build that and offer it as a public BrightPack for others to leverage.

Thanks for all your feedback!
