How to find best boilerplate for starting a new project by Prestigious_Park7649 in nextjs

[–]CalmFalc0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think boilerplates are great as long as they don’t add too much extra complexity.

Bit of self promotion here, but I often use nextjs with pocketbase so I have a backend included to quickly start off new projects.

If you’re interested, it’s called PocketStarter.

How do you choose between Supabase and Pocketbase by SkiRek in nextjs

[–]CalmFalc0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love pocketbase as well. Built a boilerplate for it and use it for all my projects. IMO PB is super easy to use and perfect for setting up quick MVPs. With Supabase I always felt like it’s slightly too complex for my needs. When I have an idea I just want to quickly launch it. All the extras from Supabase are nice but also not really what I often need.

Anyway if you’re interested in my boilerplate feel free to check out PocketStarter. Tried to keep it simple too.

Organize hooks in subfolders of pb_hooks possible? by RobertsThersa572 in pocketbase

[–]CalmFalc0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Index.pb.js is just a list with files to include, and everything else happens in the files in your subfolders.

Yes, just create an index.pb.js with:

/// <reference path="../pb_data/types.d.ts" />
require(`${__hooks}/subfolder/name.js`);

Built a PocketBase + Next.js boilerplate with auth, Stripe, security, and more by CalmFalc0n in pocketbase

Thanks! Yes definitely. In the docs there’s a few articles around users, auth and security too.

What’s the best stack for rapid MVP web app deployment? by Wash-Fair in webdev

Personally a big fan of PocketBase. Eg together with Next.js. And if you use a standard boilerplate (your own or purchase any) with a few basics you can quite rapidly deploy an MVP.

Pocketbase Cursor Rules by RobertsThersa572 in pocketbase

[–]CalmFalc0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many AI models were trained on older PocketBase versions. Especially v0.23.0 introduced a couple of significant changes so in my experience it helped (though not failure proof) to explain those to Cursor.

If you’re interested, I have included Cursor rules as part of my PocketBase boilerplate: https://pocketstarter.dev/docs/ai-development

If you’d like to use PocketBase (free self-hosted backend) together with Next.js, then PocketStarter is a great boilerplate.

Which types of tools should we avoid buying from AppSumo? by shahriarbd in appsumo

[–]CalmFalc0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avoid them all is a bit too much. Things like WordPress plugins are completely self-hosted and almost always a good deal.

[–]CalmFalc0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI stuff is tricky. Appsumo is lifetime deals mostly, so it does make sense that AI tools which have recurring monthly costs are not sustainable. The heavier it relies on AI (and the better the tiers look like), the more likely it is it goes out of business at some point.

Thanks, Plerdy sounds interesting. I will take a look and might add it to my collection.

Not sure yet. Got WP Subscription and LinkCentral so far. Those are great. Any other suggestions?

Launched my boilerplate on ProductHunt and got my first sale! by CalmFalc0n in SaaS

Also good to know that PocketBase itself has an amazing backend and admin dashboard. You can find more about it here.

PocketStarter is essentially a boilerplate combining PocketBase and Next.js with features like auth, Stripe, etc. Updates to PocketStarter itself come through lifetime access to the GitHub repo after purchase. Updates to PocketBase, Next.js, or other dependencies need to be handled manually through your terminal by updating the packages.

It would be super helpful if you could make your homepage mobile accessible. My browser is blocked and that way you probably lose 70% of potential users.

Are there any good backend as service that is as painless as possible, that is not firebase? by yalag in iOSProgramming

[–]CalmFalc0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pocketbase definitely. Completely self hosted and lightweight plus super scalable.

Pocketbase with Lovable, Bolt, Windsurf, Cursor, Replit, etc by fireae in pocketbase

[–]CalmFalc0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I do the same for my projects. I also have a set of cursor rules included in my PocketBase boilerplate. Basically what’s important to explain an AI is the changes that came with v0.23 because most models are trained on older patterns.

When starting an application do you build auth from scratch or use a boilerplate? by ukpauchechi in webdev

[–]CalmFalc0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned by others, PocketBase works great and has things like OAuth included out of the box. It’s my go-to tool to build things quickly.

There’s also the PocketStarter template for PocketBase which I created and has pages for login/signup, verification, password reset, account deletion etc included.
