I made the website for my wedding with Redbean, just for a bit of fun. It was a delightful experience. Deployment was just: upload one file, restart a process. I developed on my Mac, and deployed the executable, unchanged, to a Linux server. It just worked. Nice.

In case it's not clear it's the same single file that runs on all supported operating systems. One file, run anywhere.

Love this software.

Can't say I understand how it works in depth but as something to tinker with it's amazing. So clever.

I can already imagine people telling you to install certbot and putting Apache in front of this...
