Why I decided to take part in Hacktoberfest
As a creator of tinyhttp, this is my first year participating in Hacktoberfest. I decided that I would pick a maintainer role in it, with helping newcomers to make their first contributions.
What is tinyhttp
tinyhttp is a 0-legacy, tiny & fast web framework as a replacement of Express. It's written in TypeScript and is compiled to Node ESM (so you can use import / export syntax w/o extra tools) and CommonJS as well. All Express middlewares work for tinyhttp. It also supports async routes and has a set of prebuilt middlewares so everything you use is modern and smooth.
