I used to fall into the trap of always wanting to build everything myself, which ironically led to me building a framework so I wouldn't have to do that over and over. So I agree totally.

Every "framework" available when I started with Node seemed to be a collection of loose opinions regarding Node best practices, lightly dusted with syntactic sugar. Functionality I considered table stakes for web apps usually involved choosing from several middleware packages with different maintainers and different syntax. Didn't like it.

Thanks for the compliments. I hope the community sees the value.
