It serves more use cases than you might think, especially with CRDTs. Nestful is a tree structure and uses Yjs for sync. Permissions can be done in the file system level.
Yes, I agree this is not an end-all be all solution, but the tradeoff is often worth it.
Yep love CRDTs but I think we are in agreement that it's a matter of trade-offs whether or not to use a backend (beyond a shared fs service). The idea with ejectable is that if you've decided the trade-off of a backend is worth it to enable certain features/UX, then it's a good way to ensure longevity of the entire app for users.
