Nodal is great. If you want to get up and running quickly and effectively, Nodal is the way to go. API's def were a pain point for me. After using Nodal you actually get to see how to do them the right way. Nodal does a lot for you, but because of their clean and easy to ready code you can understand what it is doing. I would recommend using it.
I've been writing blog posts, docs and tutorials for Nodal. I hear folks talk about clean code, and know it's something to aspire to. But I don't think I quite knew what clean meant for APIs, until I started to go deep into Nodal. Every time I go in, I come out a little smarter.
I am very new to software engineering. My experience has been confined mostly to writing algorithms in JavaScript. While working with a friend I used nodal for the first time this weekend. Using Nodal along with Postman and Atom, I was able to create a server and access a database.
