I was frustrated with the verbosity of ASP.NET Core, especially as an F# user. Don’t get me wrong, it is insanely powerful, performant and customisable web framework. And it is also one of the most USER-UNFRIENDLY things I have ever encountered in the web development.

Therefore, I decided to wrap it in some helper functions to make it as pleasant to work with for the new F# web developers as possible. And ... I’ve got somewhat carried away. This is the true origin of this project.

Before F# I was primarily into the Python, and I had really good experience with Django. I wanted to make my helper look more like Django but more I wrote, more it resembled Flask instead.

I have recently open sourced it under the MIT license on GitHub. I hope this will help with making other web developers more interested in seemingly niche language of F#.

I use it for a side project (some SPA app) I work on over the weekends. Therefore, I frequently change and update it as I encounter more missing things or parts that do not please me.

So, all the feedback is welcome! I am especially interested if you find the framework API intuitive enough for non-F# folks.

Thanks for your time!
