realworld VS rakkas-realworld

https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld

It's just for web app (a Todo app). Your GIS AND CLI ideas are interesting, I haven't seen anything similar to realworld for those.

So what would be a better benchmark? Perhaps a "standard" "real world" app, like https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld

Or something simpler?

RealWorld example app is a full-stack application called "Conduit" that consists of a backend that serves JSON API and a frontend UI. There are numerous implementations for different languages and frameworks, but in this tutorial you will be using the Spring backend and the React frontend.

Github has millions of projects, some large fraction with more than 100 stars, so it doesn't seem like you are searching very hard. But more importantly, why "100 stars"? Stars are meaningless and arbitrary. Many developers use stars like bookmarks. I just did a quick search and noticed a project like realworld (just a demo for learning, 65 contributors) has have more stars than Bitcoin (900+ developers, perhaps you have heard of it?)

I feel you, context API sometimes overcomplicates everything. Let me introduce to you RealWorld. It is a great project that uses composition to make its structure scalable. It is actually a codebase that implements various fragments of a larger scale project such as Medium or Twitter. Check it out here: https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld. I hope this helps!

Check out the updated Rakkas RealWorld Demo to see how the same full-stack application is deployed on Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Workers, and Node; all connected to the same Postgres database hosted on Supabase. In serverless versions, authentication requests are proxied to the Node server because CPU time limit may be too low to allow secure password hashing. They also use the Prisma data proxy for accessing the database while the Node server uses Prisma directly.

There is also a RealWorld port (Rakkas implementation of the RealWorld specification), a simple but complete fullstack application demonstrating how to approach building a REST API, accessing your database (via Prisma), handling authentication, testing, and more.

It also served as a test bed for establishing Rakkas best practices: Session management, authentication, unit testing, API testing, end-to-end testing, data validation, database access, and many other things that need to be done in a real world application has been tackled. See the github repo for a more in depth explanation of how everything works.
