Building a Web Framework from Scratch

7 points by NewSmoke38 28 days ago | 1 comment

Draco is a Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) YSWS (You Ship We Ship) — teenagers build a working server side web framework from scratch. Ship it, and we send you a mechanical keyboard + SSD.

The idea came from building Beasty — my own HTTP server from raw TCP. The moment you parse your first request line by hand and a browser actually responds, something clicks. You stop thinking of HTTP as magic and start thinking of it as bytes. That's the feeling I want 50 teenagers to have.

The project has 6 milestones — from opening a TCP socket all the way to middleware and custom routing. Doable in a weekend if you're motivated, ~15 hours of focused work.

I think it's better to give your idea to Claude code and let it handle your task, but if you don't want to do it using vibe code completely hire a software professional for code curation in the end. If it's just a hackathon for promotion best of luck.
