I love it and use it for personal projects and internal tools. I tend to combine it with https://pocketpages.dev/ which gives me file-based routing and nice templates.

Ah, and Pocketbase has automatic database migrations, so all schema modifications can go into version control.

I even hacked a Gemini protocol server into it, so that I can browse my personal knowledge graph using Lagrange.



May I know how's Pocketbase performance demand? I am thinking of hosting it on a Raspberry Pi 5 at home. Any limitations you find unusual/notable compared to standard Supabase?


I’m probably not the right person for this but it’s perfect for home use. There’s a few OSS homelab dashboards build exactly for this type of thing. I run a Home Assistant one.


It’s a lot lighter than Postgres/supabase. I run it on a pi-5 and it works perfectly well.


What is Lagrange? I couldn’t find any project in the context of LLM or knowledge graph.


They said they hacked a Gemini server, Lagrange is a Geminispace browser.

I also somehow thought a Google Gemini MCP server.


So did I. I know Gemini the protocol exists, but the reality is, in almost every context "Gemini" is so much, much more likely to refer to Google's LLM that I'm taken aback when it doesn't.


There is a minimalist browser named Lagrange built for the Gemini protocol (a lightweight alternative to HTTP).

I’m guessing that’s what they refer to.


it's funny because no one brought up LLM including the link posted but you go "...it must be LLM related" :)


They were thinking of Google Gemini, not Gemini (protocol), the latter which, although being the older, might have to consider a name change to escape a slow death after Google's hostile name-takeover.
