I hope this isn’t a case where a competitor acquires it just to run it into the ground.
I wish it was Cloudfare instead of Vercel.

Haven’t they given enough for free? Support them bro.

Fun! patiently waiting for stable release of v3. haven't dared to migrate yet.

and finally Drum roll... 🥁
7. Hono 🏆

My new favorite framework to replace Express! 🎉 I’m obsessed with the syntax—so clean, so elegant. ✨ Setup? A breeze. 🌬️ I went with Vite for build/dev, and it’s been flawless. The DX? Absolutely amazing. ❤️

6. Nitro / h3

As a Nuxt dev, I’m already a big fan. Nitro is basically the server side of Nuxt, and it’s crazy powerful. 💪 The docs, DX, utils, unjs ecosystem, and the Nuxt community? Top notch. 🌟 This is 100% my pick for any large-scale app. 🚀

5. Adonis

Way better than Fastify and honestly feels like a modern rival to Nest.js. 💥 The docs? Chef’s kiss. 👌 But for my use case as a server middleware... yeah, it’s overkill for me. 🚀🔧

4. Nest

Super mature framework, and I love that it uses Express or Fastify under the hood. But for my needs? Total overkill. 🚀🔨 Sometimes less is more, ya know?

3. Fastify

At first, the syntax felt super familiar, and I was like, "Okay, this might work." But then... setting it up? Total confusion. 😵‍💫 The docs felt kinda messy, tbh. They definitely need some love. 📄✨

2. Koa

No dark mode in the docs? Yeah, that’s a dealbreaker. Closed. Sorry, Koa. 🌒📖

1. Express-ts

I started with this because I still love how minimal Express.js is. But honestly? Adding a build step, setting up a bundler, installing all the types, and importing them kinda killed the vibe. 🚧🛠️
The simplicity just wasn’t there anymore. 😕

@nuxt/ai would be nice !
