happy to help! it's hard to have enough perspective on things we build ourselves, so I'm always happy to try to contribute with some user confusion feedback
I've basically built a white-label general purpose app, and you can put your images/text/API URL in there and have your own custom app (with a feed, likes/favourite content, account settings, login in/log out/sign up) extremely quickly.
NOW I get it and I think that's great! it's like a CMS for apps, I guess. you can show that upfront. "Why waste time reinventing the wheel writing basic functionality when you can have your app up and running in one day with hyper fast?"
you want to make the description of your product as short and easy as possible. "when you confuse, you lose"
the challenge there is proving to me that the "framework" will allow me to continue building when it inevitably needs to, as is the case with any framework. so one of your product goals should be to allow people to stay within HyperFast to move fast without feeling they can't customize it enough. at some point, though, you become as complex as React Native because of all the customization. but I do love sane defaults. that's why I use vscode and not vim anymore—just gotta have those vim keybindings and I'm game ;-)
or even better, go to Donald Miller's workshops ;-) they cost $995 (!!) but he was a guest speaker in something else I attended and I learned more from him in a couple hours than I learned in a 2-year MBA at Kellogg...
