I looked at PosgREST for a backend for my Startup. Documentation was confusing, I couldn't see a coherent way to use it securely and the examples of other sites on Github were confusing. GraphQL at this time seems higher quality and also would be a good feature for PostgREST.

Fair point about the docs, I've been putting reference information in them over time, but it could use more guided tutorials.

Last week I began working to improve that, by writing a series of tutorials. Here's the first: https://postgrest.com/en/v4.1/tutorials/tut0.html

More to come, including tutorials about row-level security and authentication.

working on a coherent way here https://github.com/subzerocloud/postgrest-starter-kit/wiki

writing docs is hard but what do you expect :), GraphQL is FB funded, PostgREST is 3-4 guys, no backing.
