Hi, Just discovered your blog entry to setup a very simple website.

Upon reading that, I thought, why not using simply the camping-framework?

Your approach in this project feels lo me, like reinventing the wheel. But anyhow: Its worth to show, that rails is not the solution for everything!

Hey @topofocus, thanks for reading my blog post and leaving feedback.

As I mention in my article,

It goes without saying that this is only for learning purposes, to understand the fundamentals of web applications and frameworks. You should be using Rails for your real-world applications. I hope this series of articles will give you a peek under the hood and explain some of the core concepts like routing, controllers, views, and much more.

The only purpose behind that article and this project to try to build an app without Rails, is to understand how frameworks like Rails work, to understand them better.

I am trying to 'reinvent the wheel' to understand how the wheel works, not to use it for driving 😅
