  UI from schema definitions, enabling developers to manage content and user
  data without boilerplate. Built on TypeScript with Prisma for database
  migrations, it supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite and includes access
  control, session management, hooks, and rich document editing out of the box.
