I Built a Web Framework Faster Than Express in One Week

I was stuck in tutorial hell so I built something instead.

PrinceJS is a Bun web framework that averages 17,985 req/s, sitting neck and neck with Hono and beating Express and Fastify comfortably. Zero dependencies. Under 5kb. Built in a week.

I just dropped a YouTube video telling the full story, the build, the Hacker News L I took, and 5 months of grinding to get here.
