Loved by developers 🤩
Nice. I'll be watching this. Buddy and I are currently building an app on Pocketbase and are thoroughly enjoying it. I like your idea of starting from a config file rather than a UI.
kudos, this is very cool. i thought pocketbase was simple. this is very very simple. I love simple.
Wow I've never heard of manifest before now, it looks fascinating
Hey very useful app, I'll be watching this. I once wanted to set up backend apps during automated CI jobs in order to facilitate e2e tests and ended up making a utility kind of similar - but yours truly goes beyond.
It works! I like this a lot. I've been leaning into Pocketbase because it is easy and fairly complete with what I need. This is easier and more complete. Are you modeling this after something that exists already?
I really appreciate the simplicity of the DSL presented. I'm curious how you see the project evolving as you add those things. How do you see it differentiating itself from rails or django?
i was trying manifest today and work fine, is very simple, i would use in a project without doubt.
I love it so far. The simplicity is awesome.
Hello! Just started trying out Manifest for a personal React project. Love the idea!
This seems nice! I will def. follow this, and jump on the bandwagon then you are out of beta 😎
Congrats on shipping, this looks nice and well thought-out.
