Finished a small educational project: https://zserge.com/posts/pennybase - a toy clone of Firebase/Supabase/Pocketbase. In 700 lines of Go with zero dependencies it has dynamic record schemas, reasonably fast "document store" using CSV files, orthogonal REST APIs + realtime watch over SSE, authNZ with simple RBAC, pluggable hooks.
Enough to build a real-time chat app or a management system. Works well with HTMX and Go templates.
Not for serious use, of course! #golang #backend #baas #firebase #rest #csv

Pennybase: a Pound-Shop BaaS

Building yet another single-file backend as a service. As always, we focus on simplicity, but nevertheless we try to implement as many features as we can without making it too complex.

People like to think Asimov predicted the current technology known as "artificial intelligence". They are wrong. It was Douglas Adams when a computer spent untold resources just to return an answer which is both irrelevant and poses further questions.

UNIX includes a command to deal with your cat walking on your keyboard. When your cat is coming, you just type "cat" and press enter, and your cat's input won't mess anything up.

@gvy_dvpont Got me thinking… can it be done without the lens? This one seems to work!

What a wonderful language is C. Took me some time to find a bug with my array. And this could happen in so many languages...

```
int D[] = {
-9, 9, -1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Rook
-19, -17, 19, 17, -11, -7, 7, 11, // Horse
-20, -16, 20, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Elephant
-10, -8, 10, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Advisor
-9, 9, -1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, // King
-9, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Soldier
-9, 9, -1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 // Cannon
-9, -9, 9, 9, -1, 1, -1, 1, // Horse "legs" for each horse move
};
```
