I've very much enjoyed my initial forays into this web-app-building tool, and am considering investing more effort in building things with it; but I'm mildly concerned that it will go bankrupt, or turn into a monster like Firebase, or pivot into something else entirely.
Resolves YES on 2028-10-01 if Convex, in my judgement, still offers "basically the same thing" (optionally plus other things too).
Resolves NO on 2028-10-01 or earlier if Convex stops offering what it currently offers.
