Please reload this page . ganigeorgiev Oct 28, 2025 Maintainer – Unfortunate update: FLOSS/fund reached out to me again but due to some unforeseen regulatory constraints their partnership with GitHub didn’t seem to work out. Instead they want to issue a wire transfer from India requiring several cross-jurisdictional paperwork but I don’t feel comfortable doing that because I don’t trust them, nor the India government, with processing and storing personal sensitive data (especially over insecure shared mail inbox channel). So in the end I had to withdraw my FLOSS/fund application and decline the funding. I’ve made a mistake for not researching it more carefully and not waiting for the disbursal before making big announcements and decisions, but it is what it is. Nonetheless the main goal remains and I’ll try to publish a stable PocketBase version this year (no hard promises though; the majority of the new UI functionality is already implemented but I’ll have to look for something else in between before making more elaborate plans regarding the remaining tasks) . There will be a new announcement once I have more clarity and readiness to request community feedback. I’ll go ahead and lock this discussion to avoid further spamming the participants and repository watchers. I am happy to announce that yesterday FLOSS/fund contacted me about their decision to sponsor PocketBase as part of their second funding tranche. You can find more details and the other cool projects they’ve chosen to support at https://floss.fund/blog/second-tranche-2025-anniversary/ . > Note that FLOSS/fund and Zerodha are planning to continue with the program next year, so if you are looking for a no strings attached sponsorship for your open source project, I encourage you to apply at https://dir.floss.fund/submit . With the funding this means that starting from December I’ll be able to work solely on PocketBase for at least one year, with the general goal to finally have a stable PocketBase release by end of next year. My short-term focus for now will be on rewriting the UI. UI Rewrite One of the biggest limitations of PocketBase right no
