# MiniWeb
## Abstract
This is a biased little project, that tries to establish a basic infrastructure to build a webservice.
The main objective is to build a basic template one can quickly start developing a service with
The project aims to implement approaches as *simple straight-forward* over *generalized multi-purpose*.
It assumes that you clone the code, and adjust it from there, without keeping up to date.
So this is not thought of being a framework.
## Choices
### Philosophies
- Semantic over Mnemonic
- As flat HTML as possible
### On the Backend
- `axum` as webserver framework
- `minijinja` as template renderer
- `sea-orm` as database framework
### On the Frontend
- `markdown.css` to provide out of the box CSS for markdown
- `hyperscript` for light weight event scripting
- `htmx` for service interaction
- `Fomantic-UI` as default CSS framework (once Semantic)
## Features
### The aims of the project for now are:
- [x] Template Rendering with Hot-Reload
- [x] Static-File Serving
- [x] Logging
- [x] 404 Handler
- [ ] 500 Handler
- [ ] Media File Serving
- [ ] Admin Site with Registry
- [ ] Storage based tools (for files and cloud)
- [ ] Database
- [ ] Redis / KV Store
### Future Ideas:
- Direct Markdown Sites as wikiserve with the storage tools
- `static-image` and `media-image` Service for automatic thumbnails
- User and Role Implementation
- Event-Bus link to RabbitMQ
### Windows 10
