Waggy hits v0.8.0 with support for custom middleware, listening and serving on a specific host and port address, and more!!
And in that time, I’ve gotten the router I’ve been working on, Waggy, up to a new version of v0.8.0!! Along with some minor bug fixes, some refactoring, and restructuring changes, there is now full support for custom middleware and listening and serving on a specific host:port address.

Waggy v0.3 Released!!
Waggy v0.3 is out now!! Along with some minor bug fixes, v0.3 comes with two major improvements, being the ability to configure loggers for WaggyRouters and WaggyHandlers alike, as well as a convenience wrapper for serving files as responses. One other big unplanned, but welcome improvement is the ability to use Waggy in conjunction with Fermyon’s Spin Go SDK for writing WAGI microservices that can also make outgoing HTTP calls.

is it possible to limit the body param size for all routes in net/http i'm also using go-chi
Interesting. go-chi added it as a middleware 4 months ago, but its not in the module docs since they haven't tagged a version since Dec 2022: https://github.com/go-chi/chi/blob/master/middleware/request_size.go
