The Web client

This site is example of a simple web client. Or web site. Check out Topics and Users to see the fetched result from Postgresql. The Go code to manage this simple web client and fetching data from the Postgresql server is below. Note that this code replaces Apache/Nginx, Node.js and PHP just in a few magic lines. The enging of this site is just under 10 MB of compiled code (+ common html templates, CSS, Javascript, images etc)
