Abstract

Collaboration in the physical world can learn from the tools software developers use. Forgejo is an excellent code forge that can be repurposed for collaborative project management or a simple TODO app. This presentation explains how a PWA can be built on top of Forgejo by generating a binding for a mobile app from the api description.

By reusing Forgejo as a backend, development time on a backend is saved and a fallback frontend exists too. The advantage lies in the ability to create a dedicated frontend for particular workflows while retaining the proven parts.
