> Postgrest looks like intended for people building a web app, and who don't want to write application server code, instead, they install just a database?
Besides usual webapps, I've also used it for building an IoT project(sensors logic in the db) and a GIS project(postgis/pgrouting). Some users have also used it for open data projects(OpenAPI is provided).
Those are some of the use cases off the top of my head. In general, I think it's good for cases where you'd like to use the database as a "processing engine" instead of a "dumb storage".
The docs definitely need a lot of improvement. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

It's also great for internal admin apps and there are ready-made libs like https://github.com/Wellers0n/react-admin-postgrest-client.
