Hello,

For about 8 months, I worked on a tool that I needed for generating the boilerplate for my microservice-based apps. Today I am releasing the very immature v0.0.1 version, together with a simple example of its usage. There are thousands of things to further include, but I think the current version is already usable to some decent extent.

I really hope it will come in handy to someone as it did to me. Feel free to criticize it ;)

Happy 2021!

I'm working on similar at https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hofmod-server (hofmod-saas,hof)

Switched the DX to cuelang.org this year, very happy about that!

My main goal with Hof is to have code gen beyond the initial boilerplate, so that I could change design while keeping the custom implementation details.

Nice! I will look into it when I will have some time.

What I have in mind is also past the boilerplate, as you said, changing the design later, while being able to write pure business logic code. Right now, I'm not there because I didn't properly separate the generated files from the ones the dev has to edit. But that would be next.

hof uses diff3 so you can write the custom code right in the generated files.
