antiframework VS wikiref

I'm not a professional software developer, it's just my hobby.

Story is, I wanted to make some simple website project using Java, so I had to use some sort of web framework since I've read that CGI should not be used for medium sized project (like very simple social network, or whatever stores and handles data server-side). All the web frameworks I tested for Java (Javalin, Spring, something else I dont remember name of) used Maven, which I'm not familiar with. Why not create my own web framework then? Insert xkcd 927 With knowledge about HTTP protocol, I started making simple framework which uses sockets and regex for request handling, and allows developer to create simple endpoints. Main point is simplicity. It doesn't need any dependencies, just compile it to JAR, import to Your project, and that's it. Project itself is faaaaaaar from perfection, however it works as far as I tested it, and I think young/beginner developers would find it fun and easy to use in private projects.

Framework is in very early development stage, many things might change.

I made a Firefox web extension [0] that makes it relatively easy to extract and download references from Wikipedia pages. I call it Wikiref.

I made it to scratch my own itch mostly, as I’d often visit Wikipedia pages and find myself wanting to save multiple references (text and links included), but didn’t want to manually copy + paste all the little details.
