I have no clue what this is supposed to be doing. Apps? What apps? An app is something that I install on my cellphone.

I see some scripts that could be jquery plugins or analytings thingies that I can hook up or something by dragging and dropping?

So how are you going to integrate them? I guess this 'connecting' step means that you have to install a javascript injecting portal?

Explain like i'm a developer please.

So this is a plugin for plugins for wordpress?

    At first I was under the impression that it isn't WordPress specific but it looks that way when you read the bottom about the plugin.

    Quickly browsing though it also looks to have flavors of Kickstarter for plugins "backing".

    Its confusing. Was going to post the same question. If it is Plugin then there are already thousands existing in market what is need of it?

      There are thousands of plugins, but they are all platform specific (WP, Joomla...etc). Filament works on any site that accepts JS. It can also be used to connect existing web apps to your site (i.e. MailChimp) without embedding code.
