"Really cool" is not compelling enough for me to decide to build a product against something like this. Here is, at a minimum, I would require to even consider:

- Comparisons against other types of stacks, like laravel livewire or phoenix liveview

- Performance metrics/stats/benchmarks whatever. You need to be faster and more robust than the other things out there, or provide some other benefit

- First Class self-hosted on premise install version without dependency on any cloud provider. Kubernetes helm charts or docker compose stacks or whatever

- I do actually like that you have a time-windowed source available license. That is something that alleviates the concern if you go under

- Jepsen or similar analysis, need to make sure whatever consistency guarantees you are advertising hold up

One public comparison on latency is https://db-latency.vercel.app/

For comparisons, you can check out:

I'll save you more of a marketing pitch, since you seem to have enough of my pitching Convex in the article:) The bullet points at the bottom of the article should be a pretty concise list - I'd call out the reactivity / subscriptions / caching.
