What it does:

• serve html with streams;
• feature routes;
• feature modular controllers;
• could in theory handle querystring params and serve proper content;
• have zero external dependencies;
• make use of typescript, eslint and prettier;
• follow tsdoc standard and conventional commits.

What it could be better for its purpose:

• the static content could be in a external service;
• path traversal may not be an issue but the solution could be more elegant, https://security.stackexchange.com/a/123723;
• controllers could be using single function contract;
• could be using https module instead of http;
• could even better using http2 module instead;
• aside from path traversal, it could handle security better such as proper header settings;
• it removes HPP, but could have better validations when accepting querystring parameters;
• could make use of promises instead of callbacks;
• the styles of html are no final yet, it could be better.
• could have continuous deployment;
