Project mention: A Step By Step Guide to Updating Your Legacy Node.js App in 2024 (v10 to v22) | dev.to | 2024-07-25
Crawly is an Express app built on the bones of hackathon-starter, a boilerplate package for Node apps. Surprisingly, this project is still alive and well maintained in 2024.

So I abandoned any plans to merge the latest in.
