From what I can see it is a set of common functions wrapped in an API you can use from your front end application. I don't know what all those functions are however email and auth appear to be two of them.

Also pretty confused as to what this does. There's a few examples and sample code for initialization, but I have no idea what the use cases are, what type of "backends" I could build with this, how it's better/different than popular existing frameworks, etc.
