I found it to be hilariously uninformative.

I have this old school expectation that I should be able to understand what your website/product/project is about but reading the first few sentences in the "above the fold" section of your homepage. I don't want to play a game or click below the fold "read more" links to try and find out what this web content has to do with the domain name "starbasedb".

Perhaps they actually know their intended (seemingly game developer?) audience that I give them credit for? But I do have plans (admittedly only very vague plans right now) to use one of the available "SQLite from javascript in a webpage querying the SQLite file in an object store like S3 without a web backend" techniques or projects. Maybe they'd work for me with my non game oriented use case? I don't know, it seems like they don't want me to find out...



Appreciate the candidness to your response here. Honestly we put this brand and website together in two days and we wanted to have some fun with it. That said there is a lot more we can do to make the website more informative, and we'll be sure to improve it as we go. Expect more blog posts, tutorials and implementation guides this week.
