Show HN: Zero-dependency Java framework out of beta

• minum

  10 533 9.4 HTML

  A minimalist Java web framework built from scratch

The size statistics page is super cool: https://github.com/byronka/minum/blob/master/docs/size_compa...

Reasoning this way about software and dependencies more often seems like a good thing, just so we're aware of what we're actually getting into, especially with projects that use npm.

I actually hadn't heard of Javalin before, which also seems nice: https://javalin.io/

Aside from that, I've also had good experiences with Dropwizard - which is way simpler than Spring Boot but at the same time uses a bunch of idiomatic packages (like Jetty, Jersey, Jackson, Logback and so on): https://www.dropwizard.io/en/stable/

I do wonder whether Minum would ever end up on the TechEmpower benchmarks and how it'd stack up against the other libraries/frameworks there, those benchmarks are pretty interesting.

here’s a more realistic example:

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  1 8 10.0 Java

Good job on coming out of beta. It's crowded out there so best of luck!

I think the initial README could do a better job of showcasing the framework. I think including the Maven coordinates and the quick start example instead of linking to other pages could be a step in the right direction. Check out the README I wrote in https://github.com/tofflos/undertow-examples to get an idea of what I'm looking for.

  Unleash the power of Java - JBang Lets Students, Educators and Professional Developers create, edit and run self-contained source-only Java programs with unprecedented ease.

  

Congratulations. I believe there is room for a micro framework that is smaller than Javalin or SparkJava.

That said, if you want to cash even more on minimalism, you may want to provide a single-file example using JBang[0].

  a Kotlin time tracking web application built from scratch, obsessed with minimalism (by byronka)

Interesting you say that: https://github.com/byronka/r3z

Basically the same thing as Minum, but in Kotlin.

  Streamlit — A faster way to build and share data apps.

  

The 'batteries included' space is definitely a market. For example https://streamlit.io is wildly popular with data teams for quickly making a pre-styled, usable enough web UI to put on top of some model, with controls that are automatically reactive. Those ppl have zero interest in fiddling with modular systems or spending time optimizing and scaling web apps.
