    But that's not the commercial asset that "The Grid Co" is demonstrating. They are abstracting that underlying framework, to make a more usable asset to non-technical people, akin to a SquareSpace.

    Much of our platform is still closed-source. GSS is one of many libs we've open-sourced & there are many more to come... We're also the guys behind http://noflojs.org/ http://noflojs.org/ http://www.imgflo.org/ http://www.imgflo.org/ & flowhub.io.
