Embarking on a full rebuild is a formidable journey, and your transparency in sharing the challenges and decisions made is commendable. The meticulous planning, from identifying what not to build to prioritizing routing complexities, reflects a thoughtful approach. The unexpected benefits, especially the seamless integration of runtime validation with metadata from Playwright and Puppeteer into documentation, showcase the dividends of your efforts. The commitment to a TypeScript-first, class-based routing system paid off, enabling faster development and a natural definition of routes. Congratulations on achieving this milestone within the set timeline. The insights into your process provide valuable lessons for navigating similar endeavors in the open-source and startup realms.
