    Same. I found this example [1] particularly helpful, although I don't know how good this [2] library it uses is. Overall, I've seen multiple OSS projects [3] that try to support a missing functionality in Next.js seem to just give up trying to keep up with their breaking changes.

    Hey, thanks for the feedback! The genesis of this library is that I used next-connect in one of my apps but I personally didn't like combining routing with middleware layer and I had some issue related to matching although I wasn't matching multiple routes in one file. I didn't find workaround to this and honestly I didn't had motivation to search more. Instead I thought making utility for middleware that would fit to my needs would be really cool thing, and extracting it from my app source to separate public library would be even cooler since I'm beginner open sourcerer but i plan to go further into this direction so I guess its a good start 😄
