Caveman is a lightweight and experimental project focused on simplifying backend or full-stack development workflows through minimalistic abstractions and rapid prototyping principles. It is designed to reduce the complexity of modern frameworks by offering a stripped-down approach that prioritizes speed, clarity, and ease of use. The project often serves as a foundation for developers who want to build applications quickly without being constrained by heavy conventions or extensive configuration. It may include utilities for routing, state handling, or simple server logic, depending on its implementation scope. Caveman embraces a philosophy of “less is more,” encouraging developers to focus on core functionality rather than framework overhead. Its design makes it particularly useful for experimentation, small tools, or proof-of-concept applications.
