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.

What are sweepstakes markets?
There are two types of markets on Manifold: play money and sweepstakes.
By default all markets are play money and use mana. These markets allow you to win more mana but do not award any prizes which can be cashed out.
Selected markets will have a sweepstakes toggle. These require sweepcash to participate and allow winners to withdraw any sweepcash won to real money.
As play money and sweepstakes markets are independent of each other, they may have different odds even though they share the same question and comments.
