Pageforest is a pretty thin wrapper on top of a AppEngine's BigTable implementation. It does have to add things like a user accounts, user permissions, and caching layer. The client library (JavaScript) is also design to make it very easy to write "single-page" web apps. You basically just need to write a setDoc() and getDoc() function to persist your document as a JSON blob in storage.

"single-page", that reminds me of appjet, a cool hosted SSJS by the authors of etherpad.

  etherpad was awesome! Difference here is that the app lives client-side - and uses a "generic" server implementation for user authentication, storage, and push notifications.
