Zero

My first thought is it doesn't have enough features or too much magic BUT that is EXACTLY why it shines. I'm not going to build the next FAANG company on this but it will let me…

I think this is really nice for when I want to hack together a quick front-end for something. Once I have a working React/Node.js set up I can really quickly build something, but…

Great job! Took 2 minutes to install and run.

Supports the new hotness MDX. JSX/React components inside markdown. This is awesome for standing something up quickly. Thanks for creating this!

Having Markdown rendered as HTML is basically all I want when I'm standing up a single web page or a small website. This is definitely something I'll bookmark for later.

Because if you ever have a broken upload system that allows you to drop a JS file somewhere accessible by the file system routing, you have remote code execution. Additionally,…

Probably having .htaccess / .env / database configuration / files that are not supposed to be public be exposed. For instance, Rails has a public/ folder for files that are going…

Make your application directory read-only to the user running the application, as it ought to be anyway. Automatic dependency resolution however... Fantastic for experimentation,…

Wow, I love that people can wrap express and many of its components and end with something so different from its foundation. That being said, this level of "batteries included"…

Is there any way to "ignore" specific files or directories? For example, I want to reuse React components across different routes (exposed as jsx files). However, I don't want…

Currently, files starting with _ (underscore) are hidden in zero. This is still a feature spec we need to finalize as this can create confusion. Maybe a .zeroignore file (as…

Are there any plans to make this support Typescript in the future? :)

Looking through the code on github found a .py file handler in the works: https://github.com/remoteinterview/zero/blob/master/packages/handler-python/handler.js Any idea of a…

This is very cool framework and I will certainly use it for small to medium sized apps or website. However, just going through the doc there doesn’t seems to be a way to split…

Weird how does it knows what certificate to get for https

While I embrace less configuration, you can't really avoid TLS these days. There is always configuration, many of configurations. Some implicit, some explicit.

Why is this any different than say, next.js?

Nextjs uses a pages/ subdirectory which gives you implicit routing, without having to compromise on the whitelist aspect. I think it's a better compromise.

How's this different from Koa?

I did something very similar but arguably with even less configuration, https://serverjs.io/ ``` const server = require('server'); server(() => "Place your Node.js API here.");…
