Reviewer scorecard
“Issue-to-PR workflow is the right abstraction. The planning step prevents the 'just generate code' antipattern.”
“Single binary with auth, database, file storage, and real-time. Deploy your backend with one file. Incredible for small projects.”
“Still limited in what it can handle. Works for straightforward issues but struggles with anything architecturally complex.”
“The simplicity is its superpower. For prototypes, side projects, and small apps, nothing is faster to deploy.”
“This is where all development is heading — describe what you want, AI plans and implements. GitHub has distribution advantage.”
“Single-binary backends democratize backend development. PocketBase proves you don't need cloud services for small apps.”
