Description
Hi HN, I built MicroVibe, a small web starter for people who want JSX + file-based routing + API routes, without pulling in a heavy framework.What it does today:- File-based routing (including dynamic and catch-all segments)- API routes with consistent JSON error shape- SSR by default, and `mode = "client"` per route when interactivity is needed- Runtime module cache with file-change invalidation in local devProject goal: keep the runtime small and understandable so teams can iterate quickly and still reason about behavior.I would really value feedback on:1. Routing/API ergonomics2. What was confusing or slow in your first 30 minutes using MicroVibe?3. Where this should clearly differ from Next/Astro/Vite workflows

Could you build this?
Yes Creating a lightweight web starter with file-based routing and SSR using Node.js/Bun and basic JSX transforms is well-trodden ground easily created with AI assistance.
