Hello everyone, we are happy to launch the product hunt page for the ExpressoTS framework. We created Expresso-TS to be the go-to tool for TypeScript developers and to streamline and facilitate the creation of server-side applications! It makes API’s enterprise-level development easy. Our journey began with a passion for simplifying development tooling and eliminating boilerplate. We want ExpressoTS to be a helpful tool that encourages focus on building product functionalities rather than repetitive tasks. We are constantly working to improve ExpressoTS and provide the best experience to our users. So, we would be happy to have the community come and use the framework and provide any feedback you might have in the process. We have great organizations already using Expresso-TS and are always working with our users to develop new versions of the framework. If you have any questions, requests, or feedback we welcome them!

A very cool modern framework 🚀 Can you tell me how difficult the transition of an existing product will be, for example, with React?

@hymiside Zero pain! If your frontend application is done using React you can easily consume the endpoints on ExpressoTS either using fetch, or axios with no issues.

Congratulations on the launch! I think TS space is in real need of more tools like this. Just curious, how does this compare to NestJS?

@domantaspe Thank you for your support! To respond to your query, our philosophical foundations and problem-solving methodologies in the server-side space are fundamentally distinct. Nestjs was conceived primarily in line with Angular, as an opinionated MVC framework. Conversely, ExpressoTS provides two distinct methodologies. The first is an opinionated approach, where we recommend a specific strategy for developing your server-side application. This is strongly predicated on an anemic design with some SOLID principles, enabling a completely decoupled application with components that are simple to test, maintain, read, and integrate for engineering onboarding. Additionally, ExpressoTS offers a non-opinionated version where you have the freedom to structure your project as you see fit, powered purely by the core libraries. Furthermore, a significant point of difference is that ExpressoTS embodies best practices derived from well-established frameworks like Spring Boot and .NET. We're not just looking to create abstraction layers to simplify a developer's job. Our primary goal is to accelerate development, simplify code review, and facilitate maintenance from a leadership standpoint. We aim to tackle genuine challenges rather than merely creating mechanical solutions. Here are some additional points I'd like to highlight: We have versatile providers. Onboarding a new developer is straightforward. Our project structure is light and simple. We require minimal configuration. We support two different project structures (opinionated and non-opinionated versions). We accommodate both MVC and non-MVC architectures. The opinionated template is built on clean architecture. You'll notice the incorporation of concepts such as entities, use cases, repositories, and providers in the opinionated template. Predominantly, you'll experience the tangibility of your creation, instead of feeling like you're constructing a server-side app atop an ambiguous heap of components. These are some of the distinguishing features, to name a few. Give it a try, embrace the philosophy and help us to build something amazing! :)

It's important to mention that we are currently the most discussed topic in Daily Dev: https://app.daily.dev/upvoted as well as there is a post in nodejs community in Beijing in this directory: https://cnodejs.org/topic/64c723... ExpressoTS is hitting all corners of the world apparently. Good job to all contributors to the project!
