What minimal front-ends are there that one could combine with this minimal back-end to provide a minimal end-to-end?

Depends on what you consider minimal, but I enjoy working with PocketBase and VanJS[1]. However there is no component library built in (if this is what you were asking for).

I would say
- htmx (https://htmx.org/)
- Alpine.js (https://alpinejs.dev/)
both are minimal and very easy to get started.
Been enjoying using PocketBase with Astro + htmx + Alpine
nice! I'm curious to know why would you need Alpine or Htmx if you have one of them in your app? I thought they are mutually exclusive.

are you using one of them or both? I'm using htmx and not sure if I really need alpine.js yet.
If you want a front-end for a single-page webapp, I loved Svelte. It puts all the HTML, JavaScript/TypeScript, and CSS together in the same place. The tutorial is delightful.
BUT, if you need a multi-page webapp, SvelteKit is complicated and not well documented.
