Pocketbase is already the poor man's BaaS, and is minimalist compared to the two others mentioned.

> Data stored in human-readable CSVs

The choice to not use a database when two near-perfect tiny candidates exist, and furthermore to choose the notorious CSV format for storing data, is absolutely mystifying. One can use their Wasm builds if platform-specific binaries offend.

For local use cases this could be useful. Run locally. Do your thing. Edit with Excel or tool of choice.

Also one less dependency.
