Thoughts on a PocketBase app category?

[benallfree]

PocketBase has gained tremendous popularity and momentum in the past year (~25k github stars). It's a great micro-backend that I think aligns with the spirit of js13k.

Here's my proposal, and I'd be happy to discuss or put a repo together:

• 13k limit for combined frontend and backend logic, and any seed data/assets. Initial data schema migrations are free.
• Repo includes Dockerfile to build the server AND create a zip file to prove all starting assets are <13k. Dockerfile is not allowed to be modified.
• Deploy Dockerfile anywhere, but fly.io has a strong free tier and is recommended
• Unlimited persistent storage for user-generated content (ie, we don't attempt to track this)
• Official PocketBase JS SDK is free

I think this would be a great category because it would support a fantastic open source project and also modernize the server category to be more aligned with current tooling and deployment approaches.
