snipp.in VS null

I built https://snipp.in because I was top frustrated about the loading times of notion. I am a developer and I take notes quite often, most of us spend a lot of time on an IDE and when we need format a quick json or copy a tiny snippet we often find ourselves in opening another instance of an editor with a txt file or random website to formate json. Snipp.in is a tiny jn browser editor, note taking app and a snippet manager all in one which looks like an Editor but really fast without any bs of signin/signups or cloud. It just stores everything in your browser using IndexedDB. It's also open-sourced at https://github.com/haxzie/snipp.in

Use-case: working on PATCH requests, the body may or may not contain nullable values. I am using guregu/null and I can't use a pointer because if the json contains "null" as a value, the pointer will be set to nil in the struct, instead of a value representing the presence of null. In short I can't differentiate the absence of the field in the request from the presence of the field with a null value.

https://github.com/guregu/null is an awesome package implementing most SQL scanner Interfaces plus JSON

Unfortunately in Go, switching to *bool makes the api a little more awkward to use since users that need to set true or false have to define a local variable then use a pointer to that. Another option would be something like null, but that adds a dependency to your currently-dependency-free project. If anyone has a better solution to this pattern, I'd love to hear it.
