I am not totally clear who your target customers are. I think backend alone will be a barrier for a non-technical person. For a developer, as said by others, CRUD/authentication usually isn't the most time consuming part.
With that said, congrats on shipping! I know this is a work in progress. I think your landing page needs more work/content too. Good luck!

- cies 8y agoThis needs someone with db skills (yet works well for someone without BE dev skills) though.
- codenesium 8y agoThere is a patent troll who owns creating a frontend from a database. He's successfully sued Microsoft and Oracle and put a code generation product out if business. So I'd tread carefully there.

- chris140957 8y agoInteresting, thanks for the heads up. But is this likely to be an issue for a UK-based startup? I understand its a bigger problem in the US
- codenesium 8y agoProbably not if you're UK based.
