been making a single-page app with pocketbase.io this week and it's been a nice experience. I like making single-page JS apps with a Go backend API and this means that I don't have to write the Go backend. Really impressive project given that it's built by one person in their spare time.

Nice! I'd be curious to hear how you're using PocketBase. I'm working on replacing Formbricks with PocketBase and SurveyJS. Formbricks was using about a 1 GB of memory while Pocketbase is using 30 MBs !! Also Formbricks was a mega pain to deploy.

i'm using it for this project: github.com/jvns/docs-fe... i have some concerns about the way it handles security bc I don't really believe in what it's doing with JWT tokens but also I just try to avoid storing personal information as much as possible

Was just raving about pocketbase.io this morning. I've used it for a few projects. If you're willing to do it all in golang, you can embed the entire damn thing directly in app. It's super neat.
