That's a long time ago. I've been working on my own open source project for 2 and a half years. It's good too know that these kinds of projects take a while to gain traction.<p>I first heard about RethinkDB in 2015. I gave it a really thorough tryout and I liked it.<p>It's the first database that makes NoSQL worthwhile for me - I love how easy it is to configure and scale.
Also the query language is really clean and simple - You can learn it as you go along (unlike SQL, you don't have to know it all up-front in order to use it efficiently).
