Hey,

I'm switching my SaaS StaticBackend to an open-source model.

As a developer tool, I think it might have a better chance of getting initial traction as a fully open-source project. I picked the MIT license. I'm hoping to discover its actual potential.

I've built it with Go. It's a backend that handles user management, database, forms, and real-time communication.

My goal was and still is to have a lightweight Firebase without the vendor lock-in. Self-hosting the open-source version will enable total control over who owns the data and whatnot.

Any feedback is appreciated.
