If you're building server-side applications in .NET and want a framework that’s fast, flexible, and developer-friendly — meet LuciferCore.

LuciferCore is a powerful .NET library designed for building high-performance servers, managing sessions, and streamlining development workflows. Paired with Lucifer.CLI, it offers a complete toolkit for bootstrapping and managing your projects with ease.

What Is LuciferCore?
LuciferCore is built for developers who want:

  • Fast and reliable server setup

  • Session management out of the box.

  • A clean CLI to scaffold templates and manage resources.

  • Simple integration with dotnet workflows.

Whether you're building a console-based host or a scalable backend service, LuciferCore gives you the tools to get started quickly — and stay productive.

Final Thought
"It doesn't matter who you are — believe in who you are." LuciferCore is built on that spirit. Try it out, and let me know what you think.

A Personal Note
This is my very first product — built with limited experience and a lot of learning along the way. I know it’s not perfect, and there may be flaws in the source code. But I truly hope you’ll give it a try, contribute, and interact with me so I can improve it and grow as a developer.
Your feedback means everything.
