Memoria is a self-hosted family tree web app, built using a minimalist Java web framework. It may be used to document a family tree on the web. Search and homepage show people who are deceased and have an associated photograph. Furthermore, it is an example of pragmatic minimalism and test-driven development, focused on maintainability. It may differ from the conventional expectation of contemporary web app programming style, but it is debatably well-suited for a long-term approach, having only one dependency. Instructions: Once running (see quick start), become authenticated by entering credentials at http://localhost:8080/login. Enter new persons using "Create New Person". Persons may be related to one another through anchor tags, and the system will then calculate the family tree from that information. Help is provided by the "i"

The size statistics page is super cool: https://github.com/byronka/minum/blob/master/docs/size_compa... Reasoning this way about software and dependencies more often seems like a good thing, just so we're aware of what we're actually getting into, especially with projects that use npm. I actually hadn't heard of Javalin before, which also seems nice: https://javalin.io/ Aside from that, I've also had good experiences with Dropwizard - which is way simpler than Spring Boot but at the same time uses a bunch of idiomatic packages (like Jetty, Jersey, Jackson, Logback and so on): https://www.dropwizard.io/en/stable/ I do wonder whether Minum would ever end up on the TechEmpower benchmarks and how it'd stack up against the other libraries/frameworks there, those benchmarks are pretty interesting.

I am happy to announce my minimalist zero-dependency web framework, Minum, is out of beta. http://github.com/byronka/minum You will be hard-pressed to find another modern project as obsessively minimalistic. Other frameworks will claim simplicity and minimalism and then, casually, mention they are built on a multitude of libraries. This follows self-imposed constraints, predicated on a belief that smaller and lighter is long-term better. Caveat emptor: This is a project by and for developers who know and like programming (rather than, let us say, configuring). It is written in Java, and presumes familiarity with the HTTP/HTML paradigm. Driving paradigms of this project: * ease of use * maintainability / sustainability * simplicity * performance * good documentation * good testing It requires Java 21, for its virtual threads (Project Loo

I have written a from-scratch minimalist Java web framework, called Minum. I'd like to get your thoughts. The driving goal has been achieving characterics of plainness, frugality, performance, maintainability, testability, and ease of use. It has zero dependencies other than Java's SDK, yet provides a web server, routing, authentication, testing, logging, templating, HTML parsing, and a database, in 3800 lines of code, compiling to a 150k binary. It currently supports a web application in production. There are also example projects demonstrating its use, linked in the documentation. As the framework itself has no dependencies, it is built using GNU Make. The example applications that depend on it, however, use Maven as their build tool. Because Minum is still in beta, it is not yet published to Maven - but there are instructions for a
