Any working demo for that boilerplate?

The value proposition of this, especially at the price, is very weird. how is this better than putting together a python-cookiecutter template with pocketbase, htmx, and stripe?

My biggest complaint is that your copy (here, and on the site) uses delusional and grandiose language. Which shows me that you're just full of it. And surprise: people don't buy from people they don't trust.

and then there's this BS from the site:

>Its core, written in pure Golang, is of exceptional quality. Golang is esteemed for its productivity, simplicity, safety, and portability. With Pocketbase, your app—including public files—can be compiled into a single static binary deployable on any server, epitomizing true vendor independence.

The only thing this epitomizes is a solution in search of a problem.

Also from the site:

> Frameworks like Django and Rails offer pre-packaged solutions for common issues such as user authentication and template rendering, liberating developers to concentrate on solving business problems. They’re great for indie developers and integrate well with HTMX. However, there’s a caveat: over time, your expertise may become confined to the Python or Rails ecosystems.

What is this dribble? So the large and well documented python/rails ecosystems are bad, but using a boilerplate written by some guy is somehow better?

It's cool that you built something. It's absurd that you're trying to sell it to developers as "the SaaS boilerplate for engineers".

It is clear you do not understand the audience you are trying to sell into. You don't understand their pain, and you don't understand how they make decisions.

Is this just kind of like a GitHub repo template basically?

Does pocketbase support auth refresh tokens?
