#2I have been following PocketBase since its early day - what I absolutely love about this project is how it actively tries to avoid complexity and focuses on simple yet minimalist approach. Moreover, the ease of deployment by simply uploading a single binary on the server makes it even more attractive.
After they introduced Javascript support in the backend - I feel it became a serious contender to challenge Remix, Next.js etc. frameworks.
Looking forward to v1

I use PocketBase for mostly everything where I need a back end now. I came across a situation where I needed to write a custom SQL join (technically I could have just fetched all the data and done it in Node, I suppose).
I was shocked at how easy it was to write the query even inserting URL parameters and selecting based on the authenticated user only.
Fully recommend for basically everything. Great app. Not sure it would replace Next or Remix, but definitely add to the stack to simplify.

Interesting! I haven't made anything serious yet with the PocketBase (mostly due to lack of time & not anything to do with PB).
I'm curious to know what kind of projects did you build using PB and how was your development experience?

#6Have been using pocketbase in production for a mobile app for a couple of month now and so far it was a _very_ pleasent experience. Together with the JS SDK it is now my go to backend framework for everything where I don't need specialized libraries (like ML stuff etc.)

it actively tries to avoid complexity
Sounds refreshing.

#8I've been using Pocketbase for several projects. While it's a delightful experience for solo-dev to quickly finish a project from backend to complicated frontend, I wish it has bulk-insert out of the box.

#9It seems to me that redbean is a much simpler, vastly lighter one-file web server + sqlite DB: https://redbean.dev/
As a bonus, the same file runs on basically any OS without any dependencies on the local system, not even libc.

#10I mostly know Python. Is there something similar in Python? Or the backend language is not relevant, because you mostly use this from JavaScript anyway?
