Overview
The PocketBase/SvelteKit Starter App is a customizable app that serves as a starting point for creating your own backend with PocketBase and frontend with SvelteKit. It combines a high-performance static frontend generated with SvelteKit and a single compiled Golang binary backend. The backend provides features such as a database (SQLite), CRUD API for the database, realtime subscriptions for live data, authentication and authorization, file storage, and hooks and API endpoints implemented in JavaScript. The app can be downloaded as a binary, but it also includes code to compile it locally with custom Golang code.
