The database side is genuinely the best I have used in this category, so this is a real complaint, not a drive by. Time to a first shareable preview is noticeably slower than Base44 or Bolt, both of which had something clickable on screen before Totalum finished its first schema pass. And the community around it is thin: a fraction of Lovable's or Cursor's template and rules file sharing, so when I get stuck I am mostly reading the docs alone instead of finding someone else's answer already written down.

This is the one I point other developers at when they want a SaaS starter that is not a toy. Auth and Stripe already wired saved me a week on my last side project. Once my schema diverged from the initial brief I ended up rewriting a chunk by hand rather than fighting the generator.
