I would love something similar but for frontend. I like developing backends, but writing JavaScript is to tiring.
You can also find dozens of drag n drop builders and block editors working for modern frontend dev, there are a lot for React for example, just vibe code the components.
I can vibe code this in rust in a day most
I've been trying out Pocketbase on a side project idea. I'm super impressed! Having worked for many years on Django projects, Pocketbase seems like a perfect fit for those small to medium sized projects for which you don't want to create and maintain a traditional backend for. Happy to answer any questions.
I’ve been using on a personal side project - but found that LLMs seem to be permanently confused over how to interact with pocketbase - to the point where I’ve even tried creating a Claude Skill to try and reduce the confusion. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?

It's a niche little product that's alpha-level quality and changes frequently, I don't know why you would expect LLMs to be good at it.

Is this really realtime? From looking at the description it sounds more like subscriptions to events of data changes that are dispatched close to the data operation How would realtime even work for a networked system going over tcp? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing
I believe there is no contradiction with the definition from the linked article? > A system is said to be real-time if the total correctness of an operation depends not only upon its logical correctness, but also upon the time in which it is performed. Real-time systems, as well as their deadlines, are classified by the consequence of missing a deadline: > Hard – missing a deadline is a total system failure. > Firm –…
To me, It looks like there are just best effort events with literally no constraints or handling for delays etc
And again, I didn't see how you'd even implement such without being on both sides of the networked connection
I guess I just have to accept that the term has lost it's meaning at this point and can be used for whatever whoever wants to use it for
Trailbase is the same concept, but written in Rust instead of Go.
Looks pretty nice! Do I understand correctly you can have it run any JS in an endpoint too? Seems you could host your whole app with this https://trailbase.io/getting-started/first-ui-app/#custom-en...
I see Pocketbase, I upvote. Using it in a few production apps and it's been a very solid experience. Some breaking changes from time to time, but generally very solid. Also has a lot of extensibility built in. Sometimes you might hit a scenario where it doesn't provide what you need, which is when things can get a bit hairy, but nothing a skilled dev can't work around.
It is a very good piece of work, and extensible with JS (I just tried that). I have a fear about the future because the dev is alone, and responds alone in the discussions. He is also quite, how to say, "rough" in the interactions, which I can completely understand, being the one pulled around by everyone.
This is a very, very good piece of work when you need to decorrelate the back from the front

TrailBase has a comparison page https://trailbase.io/comparison/pocketbase/
I appreciate their honesty. After a quick look I’d give another point to Pocketbase for it’s admin UI. The TrailBase one is pretty sloppy (on mobile at least), and looks like it’s using bootstrap. Pocketbase has a sense of quality/care around it that seems missing.
I'm a bit surprised on the mobile comment, since last I checked PB's UI wasn't responsive, i.e. you had to scroll a lot horizontally on mobile. Despite it's missing polish, I tried to make TB's at least work well on mobile. Could you elaborate? - thanks
