I did a lot of documentation using AI, but the original repo is archived within the organization and in my account.
standar-donkey··on Vermell – Minimal, dependency-free C++ web framework using epoll
Hey HN,

I built Vermell, a minimal, zero-dependency C++ web framework designed to explore low-level networking, non-blocking I/O with Linux epoll, and simple Express-like routing under the hood.

I originally started this ~4 years ago and paused it over socket/memory security concerns. Recently, I picked it back up, audited the codebase, and packaged it with APT, Docker, and an NPX starter.

Site & docs: https://vermell.cc/

Would love any feedback on the architecture, security edge cases, or performance.
