@sbcgua yes, I also ended up just doing it in raw code, but it would be nice with OpenAPI specifications and such

yeah openapi could be nice indeed

I checked some material on loopback and nextjs.
Seems like the later one is more trendy.

But ... yohoho ! :)))

Anyway could be worth checking. It supports validation out of the box and typescipt friendly... The syntax from docs looks a bit cluttered to me. But maybe we can try :)

yea, one step at a time

Looking through the docs of nextjs and becoming less excited. Looks quite bloated and less readable. Probably very good for bigger apps. But for a small one - light-weight express is just perfect. Just an opinion.
