<p>I disagree. Nearly every tui/app I install these days still barebacks my $HOME.

<p>Who is the target audience of this? Solo devs? VC backed startups looking to move fast? Corporate teams?<p>> Deploy backends without the hassle<p>followed by:<p>> It is built primarily on AWS Lambda...<p>In my experience Lambda is absolutely a hassle.<p>If we are locking ourselves in to AWS products How does this improve over first-party AWS offerings like Amplify?<p>Also the readme... I have to try hard not to dismiss a project like this out if hand when I see the LLM generated README.md. They all look the same, have no personality, and frankly are easy to just scroll past.<p>If you don't take the time to curate and polish your project's readme (the absolute very first thing people read about your project), I can't help but wonder if you bothered to review and polish the code itself.</p>

<p>It also affects the digital markup of music. Music can't be expressed with a tree structure as there is lots of overlap.<p>A simple example is a slur. It crosses bar lines. <bar1>  ... <slur> ... </bar1> ... </slur> <bar2> uhoh!<p>In fact there are many mutually incompatible hierarchies in music engraving.<p>It's funny though MusicXML is a popular interchange format, but internally looks nothing like what one would naively expect.</p>
