What do you think is Hologram’s most compelling value proposition? What would make you go “wow, I need to try this”?

What you said in the other thread:

The end-goal is ambitious: local-first features with a client-side data store that auto-syncs to the backend database, plus cross-platform development (web/mobile/desktop) using the same UI components from a single monorepo. The first standalone version will lay the basic foundation for this vision.

I think what you’re describing is vertical slicing architecture - and I have great news! This is exactly what will be possible in the standalone Hologram version. Actually, supporting this kind of structure is one of the key reasons why standalone is needed.

Goal is to be dead simple and “just work” out of the box

I think these three things combined will be pure gold and help you stand out

Being able to work with or alongside Phoenix will also be advantageous - if people don’t have to choose then that lowers the barrier to entry significantly.

I also really like how you’ve repeatedly said DX is important to you - there’s already a lot to learn when people come to Elixir (Elixir, OTP, a bit of Erlang, Phoenix) so making things as simple (and natural and intuitive) as possible can’t be a bad thing.
