  1. urlredir

    Educational URL redirector service in Go

    I've used frameworks before (revel, beego) but lately just chi, stdlib and some tricks. https://github.com/ptman/urlredir has some of these tricks, but is a bit dated

    i've used https://github.com/swaggo/echo-swagger

  5. oapi-codegen
