I love the simplicity! Does this store state in the browser?

Have you considered adding an export/import data option? I was actually expecting "Copy link" to have my months worth of event data encoded in the url after the # (so it would never be sent to the server, but means I could share the month with a friend). Just an idea.

I started with Pocketbase but the limitation around not supporting NULLABLE columns despite being based on SQLITE was starting to become a bit of a liability, so I switched to Trailbase a little while ago.

Ho do you find Trailbase compares? Worth the switch?

I’ve been using on a personal side project - but found that LLMs seem to be permanently confused over how to interact with pocketbase - to the point where I’ve even tried creating a Claude Skill to try and reduce the confusion.

Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?

Humphrey · a month ago
Not with Pocketbase - as I haven't found I've needed to look into the docs too much. But I have come across a whole bunch of areas LLM's seem to always answer incorrectly for. For example, ChatGPT has almost never corrected told me how to use the UI in Davinci Resolve.

How easily can I migrate from an existing sqlite-based backend?
Humphrey · a month ago
I haven't tried this... but Pocketbase is opinionated in how it's schema is structured - and it needs to be the tool managing your schema.

Therefore if it was me, I would use the Admin UI to create a new db with a similar data structure, and then use a third-party tool to select data and insert into the new database.

Django has great GIS integration. How does Pocketbase compare here ? Also, can Pocketbase work with PostgreSQL or is it SQLite only ?
Humphrey · a month ago
SQLite only. I haven't come across any GIS integration. I think you should choose Pocketbase when it "not having features" and being lightweight is the feature you need.

I've been trying out Pocketbase on a side project idea. I'm super impressed!

Having worked for many years on Django projects, Pocketbase seems like a perfect fit for those small to medium sized projects for which you don't want to create and maintain a traditional backend for.

Happy to answer any questions.

Instead of redesigning the "pocket" they should just make phones that fit inside regular pockets.

About to switch from stable to beta - purely so I can get get rid of liquid glass and hopefully the other bugs in 26.0.
Humphrey commented on iPhone Air   apple.com/newsroom/2025/0... · Posted by u/excerionsforte

Hot take: iPhone Air isn't about making phones lighter, but to justify making their other models heavier.

iPhone Air is 165g.

The new iPhone Pro 17 is 204g but the 15 Pro was only 187g. iPhone 17 is 7g more than the iPhone 16 which was 170g (only 5g heavier than the new Air).

Their pricing ladding places the Air above the regular 17 and below the 17 Pro.

If Apple didn't make the Air, then the 17 family would have been Apples "Heaviest range of iPhones they have every made".

That said, I am very happy about how Apple are adding more battery to all their phones - which might be were the extra weight is coming from.

The Apple Configurator seems like a great tool to setup a phone for your children or tech illiterate elderly parents. Many of us would have people in our lives who might actually understand how to use their phone if the only icons on the home screen where messages and phone. I could imagine ChatGPT would be a good option for them to be able to look up information in the real world.
