You won't get any argument here. PocketBase's is very polished and friendly. I fell back onto a popular pre-existing UI component system called shadcn (which does look a bit like bootstrap), not only because you gotta start somewhere but also because I'm not the caliber of UX designer Gani is :bow:. If you have the time, I would appreciate any feedback on how to improve.

I'm a bit surprised on the mobile comment, since last I checked PB's UI wasn't responsive, i.e. you had to scroll a lot horizontally on mobile. Despite it's missing polish, I tried to make TB's at least work well on mobile. Could you elaborate? - thanks

> Could you elaborate? - thanks

The part that prompted my comment was clicking to edit a row on mobile in vertical orientation. Rather than fill the screen the edit shows up in a modal which doesn't really make sense, since you have so little horizontal space to work with. And the inputs are cut off slightly due to no padding.

And the whole admin UI overfills my (pro max) iPhone when held vertically, I think due to the navbar icons? Anyway, it'd be nice to not have to horizontally scroll to see those 40px or w/e everywhere. It makes it so you have to horizontally scroll to see or evaluate every page

One other little nice thing you could do if you wanted is prefill the username/password with the demo user.

Very cool project, and it's cool to see how Rust benefits the performance.
