I do wonder if there is a market for mini versions of Rails? Or does Sinatra already fulfill that need?
I haven't used Sinatra for years, because whatever simple I start, Rails is super convenient to use for it these days.
The single file thing I wrote this article about is only good for reporting bugs if one of the official bug report templates wouldn't be enough, or to test something. I use it for testing security related things and for little example apps.
But isn't Rails kinda overkill to use for simple things?
Since it is super simple to create a new app and super simple to deploy and host, I don't find it to be an overkill. And if you want to expand on an idea, it makes it very easy.
For sometime that's really simple, like a landing page, I use jekyll and the end result is just plain HTML
